You may access the livestream on www.twowaystreet.org, on our Facebook page, or on our YouTube channel.
On Friday, May 19, 2023 Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series presents Stone and Snow.
Named “Best Folk/Soul Artist” at the 2022 Richmond International Film + Music Festival, Stone & Snow is an Americana pairing of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Karen Bridges and Clint Thomson. In 2012, they began a collaboration filled with close harmonies and thoughtful lyrics and gave it a name that gives a nod to the mountain landscapes of the West– Stone & Snow.
Stone & Snow has self-produced four full-length albums to date. A new collection of songs (Delicate and Wild) recorded with Grammy-nominated producer David Mayfield, is arriving March 31, 2023. Delicate and Wild’s lead single “Moonrise” is a beautifully simple, yet haunting love song to the moon, while “Cruel” (named a top entry in the 2020 NPR Tiny Desk Contest) acts as a soulful response of “oh yes, I know” to the popular phrase “it’s not you, it’s me”. The album also includes the hopeful hook “we’re gonna be alright” on “Wait”, the last song they would write before the pandemic hit, as well as an honest look back on the years of a marriage that collapsed during that time with “The Hardest Part of Loving You.”
Karen and Clint are also passionate about elevating women in music. With the underground listening room they created called The Hallowed Hall, their work collecting data on the gender balance in their local scene, and Karen’s involvement as an instrument instructor for young girls with Girls Rock! C-U, Stone & Snow is invested in seeing more women grow and thrive in the music industry.
If you can’t join us in person, you can still tune in virtually to catch the show! To make your donation to Stone and Snow HERE or for more information visit www.twowaystreet.org.
