Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash and her band will be performing at Adelphi University’s Performing Arts Center Concert Hall on Friday, May 15, at 7:30 p.m.
The show, which is nearly sold out, celebrates the release of her acclaimed and most recent album “The River and the Thread,” a collection of original songs written with her husband and collaborator John Leventhal that connect and reconnect her to the American South, the place of her birth and home of her ancestors.
Cash will also perform songs from her Grammy-nominated and award-winning album “The List” which is based on a list of 100 greatest country and American songs that her father and country music icon Johnny Cash gave her when she was 18.
Although Cash is often classified as a country artist, her music draws on many genres, including folk, pop, rock, blues, and most notably Americana. She is the recent winner of three Grammy awards – Best American Album (“The River and the Thread”), Best American Roots Song with John Leventhal (“A Feather’s Not a Bird”) and Best American Roots Performance (“A Feather’s Not a Bird”).
In 1985, she won a Grammy for “I Don’t Know Why You Don’t Want Me” and has received 12 other Grammy nominations. She has had 11 No. 1 country hit singles, 21 “Top 40” country singles and two gold records.
