Mayworks - May 23, 2008

 

 Thank you, Winnipeg, for a SOLD-OUT solo show  and STANDING OVATION at the Folk Exchange!  Song, Satire & Solidarity -- co-produced by  Mayworks and The Winnipeg Folk Festival -- kept the packed-in audience alternately in stitches and in tears, with an eclectic mix of satirical pieces and haunting ballads.  Adi Sara donated her profits from the concert to LITE (Local Investment Toward Employment).
