SATURDAY
A rtichoke Music is starting an in-house
concert series with Northwest songwriter,
Linda Allen.
A llen has a deceptively gentle style of­
fering new perspective on parenting,
p o litic s, and wom en's lives, a style which
transcends age, sex and p o litic a l d if­
ferences.
Mama Wanted To Be A Rainbow
Dancer is her first album , and her most
recent. O ctober Roses w as released this
October.
A lle n 's concerts have expanded the
d efinitions of wom en's m usic as she writes
and sin g s with humor and passion of
ra isin g children, struggling through
rela tionship s with men and women, of
grow ing older. Lind a 's audiences now en­
com pass a w ide range of men and wo­
men who respond to her unique style and
m oving perform ances. She has grown
from the sixtie s through the seventies and
has developed into a strong, candid
voice of the eighties, encapsulating fire
and spunk with forgiveness and grace
into songs that seem to ling er in your mind
long after the stage is empty. Each song is
refreshingly distinct in sound and words,
though when the concert ends (or the re­
cord) one is left with the certainty that
there is nothing finer than the essence of
the human spirit.
Artichoke M usic is located at 722 NW
21st, and the concert begins at 8 p.m. C all
