Gillian
Welch calls her newest release, Soul Journey,
the sunniest record she's ever made. "There's a plain-spoken
and straightforward quality to it," she said, "compared
to the other records. And while everything I've done has
been fairly autobiographical, it's also been more obscure.
In fact, some of the songs on Soul Journey I never
intended to release; they were kind of recorded for myself."
Welch, a gifted singer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist
performs at McDonald Theatre. See Wednesday.
A
get out the vote fall concert features music by the
Paul Biondi Quartet, The Deb Cleveland Band, Los
Mex Pistols del Norte, Walker T. Ryan and Barbara

John Kerry. Bring one undecided friend and get them
to vote. See Sunday Calendar.

years. See Wednesday Calendar.
