Nancy Jephcote will celebrate her solo CD release on Sunday, August 9 with a concert at the Katharine Cornell Thetare at 8 p.m. Following the hour-long concert there will be a reception with light refreshments at Che’s Lounge.

The album, Garland of Rain, features songs Ms. Jephcote has written and sung over the years, orchestrated carefully with the help of producer Tom Prasada-Rao over two years, with several trips to his studio in Garland, Texas and one journey to Fort Lauderdale to add acoustic bass parts played by Nancy’s sister, Martha Spangler.

Brian Wieland, Paul Thurlow, Sam Decker and Brad Tucker have been rehearsing as a supporting band to provide a sound as close to that on the album as possible in live performance. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12.
