Sixth & I – Sanctuary
Kathy Mattea
- This event has passed.
GRAMMY Award-winner and environmental activist Kathy Mattea has explored music’s most basic human essence—timeless narratives and melodies steeped in emotion—delivered with beauty by an unmistakable voice. Known for such hits as “Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses,” “Where’ve You Been,” and “Come From the Heart,” Mattea blends the bluegrass and folk of her Appalachian roots with her signature sound.
Made possible in part by the Douglas Wheeler Fund for Emerging Artists. WPAS performances at Sixth & I are made possible by the Abramson Family Foundation and by an anonymous gift in appreciation of Douglas Wheeler’s continuing efforts on behalf of WPAS.
