Society Hall Welcomes Colorado Singer-Songwriters Ingrid Avison and Edie Carey!

Society Hall, at 400 Ross Avenue in Alamosa, is excited to feature two well-known Colorado-based singer-songwriters, Ingrid Avison and Edie Carey, on Saturday, August 15th. Doors will open at 6:30 pm with the show beginning at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $20 and are available the link below or in Alamosa at The Green Spot, 711 State Avenue. The concert will also stream live on the Society Hall Facebook page and You-Tube channel.

Ingrid and Edie are calling their co-billed performance “Surfing the Waves Together: Gathering in community through the overwhelm of these times.” They continue, “In a time of profound change and uncertainty, we use the emotional range of our music to create a shared space where community can gather, feel less alone, and leave more connected, compassionate, and curious about what collective healing might look like.”

Ingrid Avison is a Colorado based singer-songwriter who believes in music and songwriting as spell-casting. A superb vocalist, Ingrid brings a subtle tremble in her voice that is pure and grounded while lifting into a full throated wail almost effortlessly. Ingrid lives in a world of secrets; as a desert wanderer she discovers them, as a therapist she holds them, and as a writer she confesses them, letting you in on the raw, intimate details of what it means to be truly alive today. Her songs blend catchy melodies, insightful and provocative lyrics and biting social commentary.

It’s telling that Ingrid’s debut recording is a sophisticated mélange of Americana and at times otherworldly cinematic soundscapes that breath life into her compelling stories of desert sojourns, lost love, death and time traveling into other dimensions.

Ingrid’s creative journey coalesced quickly as she has made room in her life for her new found passion. Living in a quiet cabin home in the mountains with her dog, Olive, and cultivating a steadfast dedication to the songwriting muse has been essential. She recently released her debut EP, produced by her neighbor, Steve Szymanski, a co-founder of Planet Bluegrass, who says it felt meant to be. “I actually first met Ingrid walking her dog down our road and invited her over to my studio to record some of her new songs.” A musical bond quickly ensued and is manifest in the music on Ingrid’s debut EP. Ingrid is currently celebrating the reelase of her new and hugely popular single “The IUD Song”.

Colorado-based singer-songwriter Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, but perhaps most especially for her warm, engaging presence on - and off - stage. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Edie's wry humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend.

Edie Carey has been touring internationally since 1999, singing alongside Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlile, Shawn Colvin and appearing on Public Radio International’s syndicated Mountain Stage as well as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Telluride Bluegrass, and Newport Folk Festivals. Her lullaby project with award-winning songwriter Sarah Sample won Best Children’s Album in the 2015 Independent Music Awards, and she was a featured vocalist along with Lisa Loeb on the 2020 Grammy-Winning ensemble All the Ladies. Americana Highways called her 2022 solo studio release The Veil “one of the best of the year” and Basic Folk listed it as #4 on their “Top 10 of 2022” alongside Grammy-nominees Anais Mitchell and Aoife O’Donovan. In the fall of 2024 she released Lantern In The Dark: Songs of Comfort and Lullabies, her 2nd duo album with Sarah Sample. Their first ever co-written song, "In My Arms," recently won 2nd place in the Children's category of the 2024 International Songwriting competition, along with Grammy nominees Fyütch and Lucy Kalantari.
