DESCRIPTION:40th All-Star anniversary of Cris Williamson's "The Changer and the 
 Changed"  w/ Vicki Randle, Barbara Higbie, Shelley Doty, Julie Wolf & very 
 special guests, celebrating the milestone album that became the soundtrack 
 of a movement. A reception and photo exhibit by Irene Young follows the 
 show. \n\nForty years ago, from their offices in a modest home in Los 
 Angeles, a collective of young radical lesbians released a record album 
 that was to become the soundtrack of a movement. Olivia Records, as the 
 collective was known, recorded and released Cris Williamson's The Changer 
 and The Changed, which quickly became one of the most successful recordings 
 of the time and sparked the music genre that would become known as Women's 
 Music.  The Changer and the Changed was as much a political and cultural 
 statement as it was entertainment—and is as powerful and relevant today 
 as it was in 1975.\n\nBonnie Raitt has described her voice as “like honey 
 on a cello” and The Boston Globe has praised her as “a brilliant 
 composer and lyricist.” Her tasteful covers and inspired originals, as 
 well as her politics, have made her a force in the American music scene 
 since she released her classic album, The Changer and the Changed, 40 
 years ago. Born in Deadwood, South Dakota, raised in the wilds of Wyoming 
 and Colorado, Cris recorded her first album at the age of 16. In the early 
 1970s, she inspired the founding of Olivia Records and helped create an 
 audience for women’s music, music made for and by women.  Since then, 
 she’s gone on to make more than thirty albums and performs throughout the 
 US and Canada.  As an advocate for Native Americans, she performed with 
 Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt,  Joan Baez, Floyd Westerman, and John Trudell 
 on the Water for Life Tour. As an advocate for preserving the world’s 
 rain forests, she’s played with Danny O’Keefe and Keb Mo. And as a 
 constant and fierce supporter of women's rights, she's taken the stage with 
 Gloria Steinem, Billie Jean King, Holly Near and Kate Clinton, to name a 
 few. For Cris, the music has always been a vehicle for something larger, 
 the art of the possible, the song of the soul.  \n\nJoin the Celebration as 
 we come together to honor 40 years of Community.  Join us as we celebrate 
 Life. Love. Music and all we have Changed.\n
