A Parade Of Women - The Night will explode with energy with four remarkable women that will have you mesmerized and by the end up on your feet! June Millington- Her music has incredibly expressive vocals, dazzling guitar work and wonderfully crafted songs, June Millington casts a spell over her audience. Her 1993 release, Ticket to Wonderful,  synthesizes a thirty-year exploration of musical styles and sounds--which began with folk and rock and journeyed through funk, reggae, salsa, pop and world beat--into a work that at once moves your spirit to higher ground and your feet to the dance floor.  She has toured with and produced albums for Cris Williamson, Holly Near and Mary Watkins.  She co-founded the nonprofit Institute for the Musical Arts (IMA) which has grown into an internationally known teaching, performing and recording facility supporting women in music and music-related business.  Get prepared to shake it up with hot high moments of rock, funk and reggae and be stirred to the soul by beautiful ballads and love songs. Lorrie Wesoly- is a golden-voiced delight whose first hit single AS I WALK THROUGH THIS LIFE, climbed to No.30 on the Adult Contemporary chart in 2001. When not writing and performing her inspirational music she also leads a Performing Arts Group. Look for Lorrie's next CD coming out this year.  Visit her at www.lorriewesoly.com Karen Frisk- is a premier Jazz vocalist.
