The Age Of Possibility

Audio Cd

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER
No one quality attracts a listener to Carrie Newcomer. Rather it is the sum of her talents - some flashingly apparent, some almost indiscreet - they come together and create a work of immense depth, great warmth, and a slow-burn intensity. Armed with keen eyes for detail and keen ears for harmony, Newcomer's performances are always evocative, thought provoking, and moving. The Age of Possibility is the culmination of years of writing, touring, and - most importantly - living. Liner Notes by Barbara Kingsolver.

Bayard Rustin

The Singer - Audio Cd

BY BAYARD RUSTIN
"[Quaker] Bayard Rustin became famous for working behind the scenes. The tactics of public protest that became familiar in the 1960s - marches on Washington, Freedom Rides, sit-ins, passive resistance, civil disobedience - were pioneered and refined by Rustin two decades earlier. Indeed, through his decisive influence on Martin Luther King Jr., Rustin created the model for the social movements of post-World War II America - civil rights, antiwar, gay liberation, feminist." - Michael Anderson, New York Times

Before And After

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER
Quaker singer-songwriter Carrie Newcomers latest album. Title track Before and After is about "experiences by which we mark our lives. Some of these experiences are large events - the birth of a child, the loss of a parent, a wedding or divorce. Some of these experiences are small moments that we did not realize at the time would effect us so profoundly. There is always another before and after and because of that, our lives grow deeper." Stones in the River "was inspired by a conversation I had with Parker Palmer about how small our actions are in the large and rushing river of time."

The Geography Of Light

Audio Cd

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER
This CD was in part influenced by Newcomer's friendships and recent collaborations with influential authors and theologians, including Parker Palmer, Phillip Gulley, Jim Wallis, Scott Russell Sanders and Barbara Kingsolver. Many of the album's tracks examine compelling ideas and questions arising out of her relationships within this Quakerly community - the idea that things are not always as they appear; that good exists at the center of things; that life is a process of transformation; that there is value in simple things; that wholeness is not beyond our reach. Through her songs, she asks: What is the nature of justice? Where do we turn for strength?
