Following the release of Caroline Peyton’s two brilliant Bar-B-Q albums last year, Ms. Peyton returned to the stage for the first time since the early ’80s for a performance in the Basement of Grimey’s in Nashville. It went well enough that she agreed to perform at a Bloomington, Indiana reunion concert of sorts (think a real life Mighty Wind), but has been quiet since.
When her Bloomington alum Mary Flower decided to come through Nashville, it was only appropriate that they co-bill. This Thursday, Caroline returns to the stage for another two rounds, of which we encourage you to attend at least one if you’re in the greater Nashville area.

East Nashville Performing Artists Co-Op
107 N. 11th St.

Caroline did 2 tunes from the Bloomington records–“Engram” and “Call of the Wild.” Some Buffy Sainte-Marie, a Bill Monroe song, “In the Pines,” an original called “Happy Home” and a couple blues–Henry Thomas’ “Fishin’ Blues” and “Built for Comfort,” with Mary Flower playing behind her. The voice: as great as ever (Caroline’s technique constitutes a kind of Master Class for aspiring singers), and the country/bluegrass tinge even more noticeable. Flower is a fine picker in the Piedmont tradition. Great show.
