Hope Dunbar, Katie Dahl and Rj Cowdery

Three talented women songwriters will share a bill at the Ten Pound Fiddle’s Valentine’s Day show: Katie Dahl, making her sophomore Fiddle appearance, and Fiddle newcomers Hope Dunbar and Rj Cowdery. Known for their razor-sharp lyrics, wicked humor and unflinching truth telling, the three women will perform in a song-swap format. They are all alumni of the Kerrville New Folk Competition and are on a tour of the Great Lakes states.

Dahl is based in Wisconsin and roots her work in the people and landscapes of the Midwest. Dunbar, representing New Jersey, leans into Americana and folk styles with a clear-eyed perspective. Cowdrey, from Ohio, commands the room with her smooth, compelling vocals. Tickets are $25 for the public, $20 for Fiddle members or $5 for students and are available at tenpoundfiddle.com or at the box office one hour before showtime.
