$10 NEWS FLASH: SHOW IS SOLD OUT 4:15 pm Tuesday
NOTA BENE: Chris seems to have a following very willing to come out even on a Tuesday night to Fort Atkinson. As it indicates elsewhere on our website, you are urged to call to make reservations. Our room holds only 60ish people, and we have 48 reservations as of this writing at 10:00 Monday night. Reservations are held until 15 minutes before showtime. Those who wish to eat should come considerably earlier.
“A New England folkie with a parched, wounded voice and a mean way with an acoustic guitar, Pureka makes romantic depression seem, somehow, invigorating.”-LA Daily News
“An interviewer asked Chris Pureka to sum up her music as a haiku. I will: Folky sorrowful songs of loneliness and hurt, longing to reunite. Her tunes have the grave Appalachian flavor of Neil Young and Gillian Welch; her guitar playing is subdued but quietly virtuosic. And her voice can be a desolate whisper or a bitter accusation. There’s no comfort, for her, in the clarity of her observations.” – John Pareles, THE NEW YORK TIMES
