Samantha Crain and Matthew Milia bring an intimate performance to Mission Theater on August 20th, 2016. The show will be a unique blend of storytelling, song, live readings, and collaboration.Samantha will be drawing from her lengthy discography of songs with expansive melodies that veer off in unpredictable directions and with lyrics that explore conflicting emotions with uncommon insight and compassion. She has a jazz singer’s phrasing, often breaking words into rhythmic fragments that land before and after the beat, stretching syllables or adding grace notes to uncover hidden nuances in her lyrics. She incorporates sometimes-comedic storytelling and personal interaction with the audience. Matthew also will perform many pieces from the Frontier Ruckus catalog, as well as, never before heard B-sides and rarities. He will travel through these densely worded sermons with a warbled voice that is fragile and full all at once.
