    Join us for an unforgettable evening as Kathy Mattea takes the stage with hits from her latest album, Coal, inspired by the Sago, West Virginia, Mine Disaster of 2006. This beloved two-time Grammy®-winning singer of such classics as “18 Wheels and A Dozen Roses” and “Where’ve You Been” has collected nearly a dozen songs about the human and environmental costs of coal mining in her native West Virginia. A champion of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, Mattea travels the country speaking to crowds about the importance of fighting global warming and the environmental and physical devastation of coal mining. With roots based in traditional Irish music, her energetic delivery captures the injustice, tragedy and pride known by miners and their kin, and effectively translates the experience for listeners who’ve never set foot in hill country.
