7:00 p.m. - Memorial park, Danville
KJ’s been labeled the “Niche Performer” by many who have invited
her to perform at their functions. For conferences, coffeehouses,
civic club banquets, house concerts or festivals, she does seem to
have a song for everyone!
KJ’s written and co-written farming songs to represent the hard
workers of the land, she’s written political action tunes to get certain
groups inspired to go to bat for their causes. She seems to know
her audiences even before she’s met them and provides an
enjoyable – and seemingly personal – concert to each one who
attends..
