Erica Wheeler at the Iron Horse, Thursday, March 20th. New CD, Good Summer Rain, sponsored in part by the Trust for Public Land.

Good Summer Rain, the new album from award-winning songwriter Erica Wheeler, is an imaginative, unforgettable journey through the American landscape and the lives lived there. Each song beautifully evokes the relationships between people and place today, spanning from the intimate streets of Greenwich Village to the sweeping vistas of Jackson Hole and reaching out to where farmland gives way to sprawl and wilderness gives way to industrial growth.

The album was sponsored in part by The Trust for Public Land,an organization that works to conserve land for people by protecting cherished landscapes from inner cities to wilderness.

Claire Dacey is an emerging singer/songwriter in the finest traditions of folk. Her warm, rich voice is often compared with Joan Baez and Kate Wolf; with it she weaves a tapestry of nature and emotion, as she draws on metaphors from the natural world to explore the contours of the soul. In this age of over-produced, formulaic music, Claire's heartfelt performances are not to be missed.
