Ms Henson-Conant was originally scheduled to perform in Newtown in November 2011, but the appearance of Winter Storm Alfred the weekend before her show — which left Newtown under more than a foot of snow, and a large percentage of town without power for much of the week — led Flagpole Café producers to make the decision to postpone her appearance.

“Having no idea whether there would be widespread power restored to Newtown, or if the roads would be passable, or if anyone within a 30 mile radius would be emotionally ready to attend a show, we asked Ms Henson-Conant if she would consider performing in our February show,” Flagpole Radio Café Producer Martin Blanco said. “She was as gracious as she was flexible, and I am delighted to have her be part of our first show in the new year.

“Part of the aspirations of The Flagpole Radio Café show and the mission of the Newtown Cultural Arts Commission is to bring extraordinary and distinctive performers to Newtown,” Mr Blanco continued. “Deborah Henson-Conant is a musician whose artistry answers that call in both the virtuosity of her musicianship and the imaginative way she approaches her instrument. Her work is a delight for the senses and will have great appeal for anyone regardless of their musical taste. We are all looking forward to her appearance with much excitement.”

Deborah Henson-Conant is a prolific composer, a revolutionary harpist and a performer of irrepressible spirit. Her playing ranges from raucous to delicate and her performances blur the line between musical performance and theatrical event. She’s a cross-genre, blues-flamenco-Celtic-funk-folk-jazz dynamo. She tells tall tales with the ease of a stand-up comic. She solos and wails like a rock guitarist. She turns music into theater and theater into something lyrical.

Now in its fourth season, The Flagpole Radio Café, is an engaging show created by Jim Allyn, Martin Blanco and Barbara Gaines in conjunction with Newtown Cultural Arts Commission. It features music by Jim Allyn and The Flagpole Radio Café Orchestra, a dynamic ensemble created for the show, and radio style comedy sketches by Flagpole Shakespeare Repertory Theatre.

Each show also features a musical guest artist such as Jonathan Edwards, Tom Chapin, Peter Yarrow, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Christine Lavin, Roger Ball of The Average White Band, and Yale’s internationally acclaimed male choir The Whiffenpoofs.
