Tracy Drach & Natalie Farr To Play Benefit Concert for Urban Ministries of Durham

Strings Attached Productions presents a pair of area ex-pats as its next concert benefiting Urban Ministries of Durham (UMD). Tracy Drach, from Pittsburgh, and Natalie Farr, from Santa Fe, perform a special ?two-fer? concert Friday, October 7, at 7 PM, in the Parish Hall of St. Philip?s Episcopal Church in downtown Durham (403 E Main Street at Queen Street). These two singer/songwriters offer an evening of eclectic acoustic music. Playing first, Drach tends toward wise and winsome originals and standards across a broad range of folk, blues, jazz and swing songs. Farr?s music tends towards the darker side, full of introspection, wistfulness and an appreciation of the natural world.

About Tracy Drach
Longtime Triangle musical mainstay Tracy Drach returns for a vibrant set of her practically patented ?Drach?n'Droll.? After graduating from UNC, Drach soaked up tales of the odd and wonderful from behind bars, books and by bringing the best music by women to eager ears the world over. In addition to solo shows, Drach played with the feisty combo Blues in Your Shoes. Now living in Pittsburgh, she stays busy performing solo, in a duo with Eve Goodman and as a member of the Renaissance City Choir. Enjoy original favorites, sultry standards and discover what new things Drach has picked up in Pittsburgh.

About Natalie Farr
Natalie Farr also returns to the area of her college days for a set of songs both beautiful and baleful. In the early days of Chapel Hill?s indie rock scene, the Baited Breath label released ?Wondering,? Farr?s debut record. Then, in the alternative music incubator of Atlanta, major music biz attention resulted in her sweeping James Mastro-produced disc ?Swept.? After years of mystical music making in ever-spiritual/spirit-filled Santa Fe, Farr breaks from enlightening undergrads to sharing her observations, aspirations and inspirations from her deep catalog of deeper songs.
