SUMMARY:The DitchLilies: Concert at Winona Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:November 8 | 7:00 pm\nGallery and Coffeehouse opens at 6:00 pm\nCost: $15/adv at Music Mart & Eventbrite\, or $20/door\nThe Winona Arts Center\n228 E 5th Street\, Winona\, MN \nThe Winona Arts Center is pleased to host our first concert with this Wisconsin duo. There will be a cash bar for wine & beer. Tickets are $15/advance without fees at Music Mart  (115 E 3rd St) & Eventbrite and $20/door.  This Wisconsin’s American Roots duo\, The DitchLilies\, have been in musical cahoots since 1998. Kari Larson and Lisa Schultz are stringed multi-instrumentalists/vocalists with a soft spot and keen enthusiasm for early swing\, old-time mountain music and juke joint songs of the Golden Era. Together\, they turn back in time to dust off the rare and forgotten tunes or to hone the familiar\, tried and true melodies with the aim of carrying them forward to share with audiences of today. Variously tender and bold\, imaginative and well-honed\, The DitchLilies bring a refreshing sound to the roots music revival. Their harmonies are wonderful and their songs are great! Kara & Lisa are excited to be joined by Winona’s own fiddling maven\, Betsy Neil.  This concert is partially funded with the generous donations from Merchants Bank\, Affinity Plus Credit Union & Dahl Toyota. \nContact:  debiniebuhr@gmail.com \nWinona Arts Center is an organizational member of the River Arts Alliance.

SUMMARY:An Eye For An I: Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Nov. 13 | 5-7 pm\nBlue Heron Coffeehouse\n162 W 2nd St\, Winona\, MN 55987 \nHola\, Friends \nMy memoir\, An Eye for An I: Growing Up With Blindness\, Bigotry and Family Mental Illness is set to be released on November 4th by the University of Minnesota Press.

There will be delicious appetizers from the good folksat the Blue Heron\, a slideshow\, a reading or two\, music\, and salsa dancing to close out the celebration. \nIf you are unable to make the Launch Party\, I will be on a panel of memoir writers on Saturday\, November 8th at 10AM at the Winona Public Library. I hope you can join us for one or both of the above events. \nThe memoir is to be featured on several podcasts including the Midwest Writers Room\, the Kindness Matters podcast\, and Minnesota Reads\, a\nweekly Minnesota radio segment on The North 103.3 FM.

It is not too late to pre-order An Eye for An I.

With its intersectional analysis of racism\, mental illness\, and disability\, this memoir brings a fresh and inspiring voice to the world of social justice literature.”—Beverly Daniel Tatum\, PhD\, author of Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?
