FOLK: Christine Lavin (2/3)

By Frank De Blase on January 31, 2012

Songstress, author, and knitter Christine Lavin is one of the most astute comics you will ever hear. I say "comic" because everything this Geneva native does is peppered with homespun charm and wit. She's like Garrison Keillor if he were your grandmother (and had a much higher voice). Lavin sings about divorce, love, getting older, and life in general with a folky acoustic pallor. The SUNY Brockport alum's current show is titled, "My 25th Anniversary Concert: What Was I Ever Thinking?" Note that a 6:30 p.m. knitting circle precedes the concert, so you can spin some yarns of your own.

Christine Lavin performs Friday, February 3, 7:30 p.m. at Tower Fine Arts Center, SUNY Brockport. $10-$15. 395-2787, Brockport.edu.
