Maple Street Concerts presents Edie Carey with special guest Gia Dagenhart.

The concert will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 23, at the historic Maple Street Chapel, 200 S. Main St. in Lombard.

Maple Street Concerts warmly welcomes the Colorado-based singer-songwriter, who 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, Carey’s wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as if they have just spent an evening with a very close friend. She has been singing at festivals, colleges, and listening rooms across the U.S., Canada, and Europe since 1999. She has performed alongside Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Brandi Carlisle, and Shawn Mullins, and was a featured vocalist on the Grammy-winning ensemble album, “All the Ladies” in 2020. Carey is a Kerrville New Folk Contest winner (2012), and her 11th album, “The Veil,” was released in June 2022. Learn more at https://ediecarey.com/.

In honor of Maple Street Concerts 40th year, Lombard local Gia Dagenhart, a budding songwriter with an impressive voice, will perform an opening set. She is a music student at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, and is the daughter of Maple Street Concerts’ founder, the late Bryan Dagenhart, and their current concert presenter, Melissa Dagenhart.
