The Small Glories Return to Perform at Thrasher Opera House

Green Lake, Wis. (September 11, 2023) – Roots powerhouse duo The Small Glories will perform at
Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake, Wisconsin, on Friday, October 06, at 7:30 p.m. The Small Glories
could almost make you believe in fate, with stage banter striking a unique balance between slapstick
and sermon. They last performed at Thrasher Opera House in August 2019.
The Small Glories are Cara Luft & JD Edwards, a musical tour-de-force partnership planted on the
Canadian Prairies. Thrown together purely by accident for an anniversary show at Winnipeg’s venerable
West End Cultural Centre, The Small Glories could almost make you believe in fate. These veteran
singer-songwriters have a way of making time disappear, rooms shrink, and audiences feel as though
they are right there on the stage with the band. It’s common for listeners to find themselves laughing,
dancing, crying, or caught up in a good old-fashioned sing-along. Their material is welcoming in subject,
folk-pop melody, and instrumentation — songs of love, loss, and environment, delivered with soaring,
interwoven vocals on various combinations of stomping clawhammer banjo, guitar, and harmonica. On
record, Luft and Edwards take the musical synergy honed from hundreds of shows together and expand
it into a new soundscape amplified by pounding drums and other textural embellishments, which only
reinforce the magic of their innate chemistry —chemistry labeled the “Lennon-McCartney syndrome,”
by Americana UK, writing, “Some things just work together… to witness a performance by The Small
Glories is a rare opportunity to experience that indefinable quality that creates perfection.”
The Small Glories performance is sponsored by…. This event is supported in part by a grant from the
Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of
Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets for The Small Glories performance on Friday, October 06 at 7:30 p.m. are $25 and available
at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279
