Hemingway Birthday Porch Concert with Local Memory & Lydia Cash

Tonight, as part of our F@H series we present a porch concert featuring a co-billing with local talents Local Memory and Lydia Cash. We will also acknowledge our student scholarship recipients while celebrating what would be Hemingway’s 125th birthday as capstone to the 100th year anniversary of the American debut of his strikingly original collection of short stories and accompanying vignettes.

General lawn seating will be available and feel free to bring your own lawn chair. Refreshments will also be available.

Local Memory is a six-piece indie/alt-country band from Chicago, Illinois, led by songwriter Amy Myers & collaborator Matt Ciani, joined by guitarist Lucas Chamberlain, drummer Nico Ciani, pianist Nicole Murray, & vocalist Lydia Cash. The band's latest EP "Greatest Hits" was released on May 30th, & is available on all streaming services."

Lydia Cash writes candidly about her life, forging songs as beacons of authenticity in which she reveals the innermost workings of her heart’s loves and losses. Her delicate melodies woven with alt-rock angst showcase this native Alabamian /Chicago transplant’s dichotomy of grit and sweetness. Cash’s upcoming full-length album, “Violet,” is slated for release this fall.
