bergenPAC Welcomes Lucinda Williams Tonight

Bergen Performing Arts Center located at 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, New Jersey presents Lucinda Williams, tonight, June 17th, 2015 at 8:00PM. Purchase tickets to see the Grammy winner at www.ticketmaster.com or Box Office at 201.227.1030.

Lucinda's voice, known for its honeyed warmth and sandpaper-to-the-soul toughness, brings the experience of her four decade, celebrated career, which was built on taking chances and never compromising her art. Known for her rock, folk, country, and blues sound, she was named "America's best songwriter" by TIME magazine in 2002. Williams has toured with Bob Dylan, The Allman Brothers and Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers and has played with some of the most prolific musicians in the music industry.

Lucinda Williams is a three-time Grammy Award-winner: 2001 Best Female Rock Vocal Performance "Get Right with God", 1998 Best Contemporary Folk Album "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road", and 1993 Best Country Song "Passionate Kisses" (songwriter - performed by Mary Chapin Carpenter).

Now, at the age of 61, Williams is in the middle of the most prolific periods of her career. She just recently released a new studio album, Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone. It's her 11th studio album and the first release on Lucinda Williams' own Highway 20 Records label. The album is easily the most ambitious creation in a body of work that's long on ambition. Over the course of two discs, Williams leaves no emotional crevice left unexplored, drinking deeply from a well of inspiration that culminates with an offering that overflows with delta-infused country soul.

While there's no shortage of eureka moments on the album, Lucinda digs deepest on "Compassion," which is based on a poem that was published in 1997 by her father Miller Williams -- who read at President Clinton's second inauguration.
