I don\u2019t understand it but I\u2019m grateful.\u201d American singer-songwriter Diana Jones has been called the \u201cEmily Dickinson of song\u201d and \u201cthe female Johnny Cash\u201d and rightfully so. But a journey of adoption and reunion as mysterious as her songwriting led to the gritty, authentic, Americana storytelling that has become her life\u2019s work and the essence of her live show. Adopted as an infant Diana grew up in suburban Long Island feeling an unexplained attraction to rural Southern music. \u201cMy brother had Johnny Cash\u2019s live <em>At Folsom Prison<\/em> album, and I stole it from his room,\u201d Jones recalls. \u201cWhenever I heard that or someone like Emmylou Harris, I\u2019d think, \u2018That\u2019s so beautiful\u2019.\u201d In her twenties, when Jones met her biological grandfather, a singer and guitar player, he introduced her to the folk songs her Appalachian ancestors had been singing for generations. This music has become her artistic calling.<\/p>\n<p>Moved by the news of devastating and worsening treatment of asylum seekers around the worlds and right here at home along US\/Mexican border, she began to write. Diana\u2019s songs \u2013 stories of refugees who travel to unknown borders seeking family and asylum \u2013 were written because \u201cI needed to make sense of what was happening for myself. I longed to \u2018re-humanize\u2019 the people who were being dehumanized around the world.\u201d Grammy Award winning producer and musician David Mansfield produced Diana\u2019s new album, <i>Song To A Refugee<\/i>, which gives voice to the immediate stories about our time.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\">The Bitter End Caf\u00e9<br \/>\nThursday, September 26, 2019 at 7:30PM<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bitter End Caf\u00e9<br \/>Thursday, September 26 at 8PM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1762,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,72,71],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
