Amy LaVere & Will Sexton w/ Melanie Davis - BANS OFF OUR BODIES

  • Cafe de Fae 533 Madison Street Paducah, KY 42001 (map)

We are going to have amazing LIVE music, a silent auction and a surprise TREAT from Cafe de Fae. 

This is a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood.

There’s something uniquely fun about Amy LaVere, even when she’s breaking your heart. She is well known among songwriters and critics alike. NPR’s Robert Siegel says she “specializes in lyrics that are more barbed than her sweet soprano prepares you for.” Her growing catalogue of material and steady critical acclaim suggest a first-tier presence on the Americana and indie-folk/punk circuits. Her latest album Painting Blue comes out August 16th on Nine Mile Records (Glorietta, David Wax Museum, Carson McHone, Patrick Sweany, Greyhounds).

“Most of my life,” says Will Sexton, “I’ve complicated things musically. But, nowadays, I have a different approach: it’s less cerebral, and more about gut and soul.” 

Emanating from the low hills of western Kentucky are the unmistakable songs of Melanie A. Davis. A thespian at heart, her ability to craft tunes that are simultaneously poignant and liberating is steeped in an appreciation for the nuances of human relationships. Whether it’s contemplating the potential of her immediate community or considering her own vices and tendencies, she never shies away from the glaring truths therein.
