Sophie B. Hawkins at Chocolate Church Arts Center
Read more...
Saturday, February 20th at 7:30 pm.
(Bath, ME) With two gold albums, a Grammy nomination and gutsy honesty , Sophie B. Hawkins creates nuanced arrangements that echo Nina Simone, Laura Nyro and other influences that enhance her unique sound.
She emerged in 1992 with a fierce bidding war for her debut album, Tongues & Tails. The Columbia Records release quickly went gold, earned her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, and fired a single, "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover", into the Top Five.
