Oregon Zoo Summer Concert
World-class artists Aimee
Mann and Rhiannon Giddens will
front the next installment of the
Oregon Zoo Summer Concert se-
ries on Sunday, July 16 at 7 p.m.
Mann first hit the airwaves
with the band ’Til Tuesday and its
hit “Voices Carry,” and amid the
image-conscious MTV era of the
mid-1980s she instantly stood out
as a songwriter of probing intelli-
gence and surpassing craft.
Giddens, lead singer of the
Grammy-nominated country-blues
band Carolina Chocolate Drops,
tours in support of her latest solo
album, Freedom Highway.
The zoo’s Summer Concert
series runs through Sept. 9. For
