Writer-singer-musician Robert Burke Warren brings a night of song and memoir to the Old Glenford Church. Redheaded Friend is a song cycle infused with selections of spoken word based on RBW's unconventional and largely unsupervised childhood in 1970s post-Civil Rights Act Atlanta. Fatherless, he searches for fellowship and courage in a story filled with latchkey kids, southern belles, and thrift store cross dressers. Songs to Live By features more original material, as well as selections from RBW's vast repertoire culled from the canon of great late 20th Century singer-songwriters, i.e. Cohen, Cash, Dylan, et al. Singing along will be encouraged.
