October 11th entertainment: Angela Easterling was raised in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the daughter of a Baptist minister. A performer all her life, Angela had begun playing guitar and writing songs while studying at Emerson College in Boston. More and more her music returned to the place her heart called home. “As a kid, the only music I ever heard was the music in church, old-time gospel. It had such an impact on me.” Angela has embraced her heritage in a big way on her debut album, Earning Her Wings. With a voice that Music Connection magazine called “haunting and ethereal”, Angela is a dynamic spitfire of a performer, with a knack for tapping you on the head while tugging at your heart. www.angelaeasterling.com.
