ELIZABETH DAVIS: THE APPLE TREE
A concept album for child(less) play
9:30pm / Tickets begin at $29
Elizabeth A. Davis will next be seen in the ART / Roundabout Broadway revival of 1776. Until then, Elizabeth will layer her passionate folk-rock sound with a compulsion for writing stories about complicated women. The Apple Tree is a 10-song collection of songs Elizabeth has written inspired by the trajectory of her forthcoming play, child(less). Thematically tight but genre-exploratory, The Apple Tree album mixes pop sensibilities with a love for the theatrical. Come to laugh & come to cry.
This is a concept album that inspired, and was inspired by, my play, child(less). The album & the play stand alone. They also wholly belong to each other. The first song came at Goodspeed Opera House after hanging up with Seneca. I wrote out her pain until it became my own on an old piano around dinner time. The rest of the story tumbled out in messy clumps. Then the songs came closely entwined, like clinging roots to their mother plant. My hope is the specificity of the play’s narrative will somehow do that intuitive thing; where the story in the songs and the play become universal and mean something new to you that I couldn't have foreseen. These songs are for the characters that inspired them. They are also for Josiah, for Seneca, for Jordan, for Mam, Daddy and brother, for people not born yet and about things I know nothing of. They are far outside of me but each has been brought close to teach a new lesson in grace. These songs are for you.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3
