Iris DeMent

Wednesday, Apr 22, 7:30 pm

The Lincoln Theatre is proud to present An Evening With Iris DeMent!

With an inimitable voice -- described by John Prine as "like you've heard, but not really" -- and unforgettable melodies rooted in hymns, gospel, folk and old-time country music, Iris DeMent is simply one of the finest singer-songwriters in America as well as one of our fiercest advocates for human rights.

Her rich lyrical landscapes and captivating music have earned two Grammy nominations and the respect of many of her peers such as John Prine, Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell. Iris’ 1992 debut Infamous Angel was hailed by Rolling Stone as "an essential album of the '90s"; NPR has called her "one of the great voices in contemporary popular music"; and The Boston Globe heralded her 2012 album Sing The Delta to be a "work of rare, unvarnished grace and power." In 2017, The Americana Music Association honored Iris with their Trailblazer Award, recognizing a singular artist who forged her own uncompromising path.
