Description

Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin All sales final. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination required for entry. ALL AGES Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin Swallow Hill welcomes Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin to our Tuft stage! While Swallow Hill Music's COVID-19 policy has changed, both the Daniels Hall and Tuft Theatre venues (by request of the Artists and event organizers in the various Yale locations) are requiring proof of vaccination for entry. Masks are encouraged, but not required. It's a special treat when Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin share the stage together. These two great songwriters from Austin, TX generally tour solo and separately, but if the chemistry seems especially amorous, they come by it honestly, as they are a rare breed: a romantic partnership in real life, as well as a musical partnership in artistic life. And the two together on stage makes for a classic case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Danny Schmidt is best known for his riveting poetic lyrics, which have drawn favorable comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt for their depth and complexity. And gypsy spirit Carrie Elkin is best known for her incredibly soulful and dynamic vocals, which have drawn favorable comparisons to Patty Griffin at her most powerful, and Nanci Griffith at her most intimate. Together, the respective strengths they each bring, individually, merge into a much greater whole, a performance of great energy and spirit, and one that audiences seem to be able to connect with on a multitude of levels, at once: Emotionally, Spiritually, and Intellectually.
