Through the Looking Glass is a fully integrated, narrative-driven concert experience rooted in Americana, folk, and modern roots music.
Built around the throughline of storytelling, the evening unfolds as a continuous arc rather than two separate sets. Songs are interwoven, re-arranged, and re-contextualized to create a shared emotional journey. Artists step in and out of one another’s material, building a sense of cohesion and collaboration that feels intentional, immersive, and emotionally resonant.
At its heart, this project explores transformation — who we are, what we carry, what we release, and who we are becoming.
We are supported by two local artists: Samantha Ava will kick off the evening with an opening set and Lacie Williamson will help create an immersive environment for show-goers!
