Join singer Myra Flynn and her band at the town hall auditorium as the finale to Fairlee&#39;s annual fall festival. Singer/songwriter Myra Flynn spends her career embracing dichotomy. Half Irish and half African American, her original indie/soul songs blend soulful vocals with a lyrical delivery that doesn&#39;t let one get too comfortable. As the New England Deli Magazine puts it, &quot;Her vocal influences have as much in common with Ani Difranco and Shawn Colvin as they do with Rihanna and Jill Scott.&quot; Myra Flynn spent her Vermont childhood clad in leopard print and platform shoes, singing and dancing atop anything that looked remotely like a stage. These days, not much has changed. She has since shared stages with: &nbsp;Ivan Neville (Dumpstaphunk), Mike Gordon (Phish) , Gabrielle Gordon (Natalie Merchant), Sonya Kitchell, Rayvon, Res, Alexa Ray Joel, Slick Rick, Anais Mitchell and Lee &ldquo;Scratch&rdquo; Perry.&nbsp; Myra is a lyrical storyteller, who uses her voice to empower, inspire, and even educate. She fearlessly tackles topics that others shy away from in both her music and in her journalism career. &nbsp;She says that motherhood has left her no more time to be self conscious and there is no room for shyness. &nbsp;She finds a new strength, independence and inspiration in her daughter, Avalon, and her husband Phil. Myra is a singer, songwriter, journalist, advocate, ally, mother, wife - and always, unapologetically, human. &nbsp;She has released five albums. Myra&#39;s podcast on Vermont Public, titled Homegoings, is a &ldquo;righteous space for art and race.&rdquo; &nbsp;It&rsquo;s a show that invites listeners to be a fly on the wall, privy to candid and genuine conversations about race. Myra explores themes that fearlessly straddle the line between necessary and uncomfortable, as she speaks with artists, experts and regular folks all over the country about their literal skin in the game... of everyday life. &nbsp;Homegoings is storytelling with a heartbeat. &nbsp;No topic is off the table, and there&rsquo;s no such thing as going &ldquo;too deep.&rdquo; &nbsp;These are the conversations that are our birthright to have, and the stories we are lucky to hear.&nbsp; Currently, Myra Flynn lives a bi-costal life, still holding onto her roots in Vermont part of her year while also working and living in Los Angeles under the guidance of Swift Street Management Team. She has created a jewelry line made from recycled piano parts and partnered with Vermont Vineyard, Shelburne Vineyard to create a namesake wine: FLYNN. She has toured the United States countless times as well as Whales, London, Ireland, and (most frequently) Australia. Her motto regarding next steps and fame tends to be: &quot;If you&#39;re doing it, you&#39;ve already made it.&quot;&nbsp; PARKING DETAILS: Please park on Route 5 (either side is okay) or at the railroad station. FOOD/BEVERAGES: No outside food or beverages will be permitted in the building. Filtered water will be available. ENTRY: Doors are scheduled to open at 6:00pm. Please arrive by 6:15 and bring a copy of your tickets (on a device or printed out) to guarantee entry. Seating is general admission.
