- **Event Name**: IRIS DEMENT
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: The Lincoln Theatre is proud to present An Evening With Iris DeMent!

With an inimitable voice -- described by John Prine as "like you've heard, but not really" -- and unforgettable melodies rooted in hymns, gospel, folk and old-time country music, Iris DeMent is simply one of the finest singer-songwriters in America as well as one of our fiercest advocates for human rights.

Her rich lyrical landscapes and captivating music have earned two Grammy nominations and the respect of many of her peers such as John Prine, Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell. Iris’ 1992 debut Infamous Angel was hailed by Rolling Stone as "an essential album of the '90s"; NPR has called her "one of the great voices in contemporary popular music"; and The Boston Globe heralded her 2012 album Sing The Delta to be a "work of rare, unvarnished grace and power." In 2017, The Americana Music Association honored Iris with their Trailblazer Award, recognizing a singular artist who forged her own uncompromising path.

On her latest album, the transcendent Workin' On A World, Iris DeMent faces the modern world -- with its climate catastrophe, pandemic illness, and epidemic of violence and social injustice. She not only asks us how we can keep working towards a better world, but implores us to love each other, despite our very different ways of seeing. Her songs are her way of healing our broken inner and outer spaces.

The record was included on NPR's List of Top 50 Albums for 2023 and the title track won "Song of the Year" at the 2024 International Folk Music Awards. Workin' on a World has garnered glowing press from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and No Depression Magazine, among others.

Come see for yourself -- head down to the Historic Lincoln Theatre on Earth Day and spend an evening with Iris DeMent.

Special guest Ana Egge is a singer-songwriter and apprentice luthier from Brooklyn, NY. She has released 13 studio albums, playing her homemade guitar. Egge's music has been praised by critics for its honesty, vulnerability, and beauty. She was born in Canada, and raised in North Dakota, and has toured extensively throughout North America and Europe. Egge is the subject of the 2015 documentary film Bright Shadow. She has been featured in Billboard and Rolling Stone, and on NPR, to name a few. Lucinda Williams calls her "the folk Nina Simone."
