BUNNY IN BLACK HILLS Concert April 24!

Category: Music

Rapid City Journal's Steve Thorpe Reports Friday, April 10, 2009: " ...Bunny Sings Wolf will be back in the Hills as headliner for the Gathering of Eagles Benefit (www.sut-gatheringofeagles.org) at the Historic Homestake Opera House in Lead (www.leadoperahouse.org/events) from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday, April 24.

I

first heard Bunny when she was busking the porch at the Alpine Inn in

Hill City in the '90's.  At the time, I thought " Sings Wolf " was a

tribute tot Kate Wolf, though it turns out that connection was as

fortuitious as it was apt.  She was singing a number of Kate's songs,

though as her gig at the Alpine progressed, she moved more into her

origianl " dream songs, " which woke her from sleep.  If you want the

whole story, check her out at www.bunnysingswolf.com and on MySpace.

Her

music has grown over the years to include heartbeat drum and Native

American flute, and she now characterizes it as " Lakota-inflective folk

music. " It's the same rich voice, the same rich sense of humor and an

ever-increasing repertoire of songs that come from her heart, which has

its home here in the Black Hills. Like her life, her music

tells a fascinating tale of a woman with a talent, a vision and a

destiny that won't quite let go of her.Also on the bill:

Victor Mandan, Larson, yours truly (Steve Thorpe) with Stetler and the Mirage Dance Troupe performing

" Earth Song " , a tribute to Mother Earth. 

Mirage's Shelby McDill says, " We

support the gathering, which honors the elders and brings people from a

many diverse backgrounds...together in sacred ways.  It's a good time

to be with old friends, and meet new ones. " The final shape of the show is still in flux at this writing, but it's looking like an amazing event. Donations will be taken at the door. "
