Local Live presents Jane Kramer and Thomas Kozak

For over a decade, our Local Live series, hosted by the exceptionally talented singer-songwriter Jay Brown, has been a cornerstone of our local music scene. Jay’s unmatched versatility and passion for music shine as he brings together the finest local talent for an evening of truly unforgettable performances. Each event is a unique blend of seasoned professionals and local musicians who play at a pro level. What begins as individual performances gradually transforms into a collaborative, magical experience as the artists come together to create something special. Don’t miss out on the magic!

Jane Kramer is lauded by UK music reviewer Three Chords and the Truth as sounding like she was “…born to irreverent, bohemian poets and raised in the mountains by Emmylou Harris,”. She has garnered international recognition for the sultry, heartrending originality of her vocals and for the heavy-hitting lyrical eloquence of her songwriting. With deep roots in the musical traditions, culture, and lore of her beloved Appalachia, Kramer’s songs are introspective, gracefully gritty, and fiercely memorable. They elegantly sweep listeners down the gravel roads and southern coastal highways, midnight truck stops and lonely motel rooms of hard learning and lead home to the wooded Blue Ridge Mountains with moving acceptance of our flawed human experience. Kramer’s live performances are equally as poignant and engaging; rich with accessible, warm, often hilarious storytelling and gracefully lifting the veil between audience and performer.

Thomas Kozak’s writing pulls myth and religion through the split-open skull of an obsessive-compulsive, anchoring the past to a new body and giving it voice through and beyond the conventions of folk and Americana.
