Their appearance here is right on the heels of receiving the Rockrgrl Women of Valor Award on April 20th for their groundbreaking band FANNY, the first all-female band to release an album on a major label. And June was just declared “a true icon of women’s music” by Guitar Player magazine in the Feb. 2007 issue. FANNY has shared the stage with Ike & Tina Turner, the Kinks, Chicago, BB King and Jethro Tull. They’ve recorded at the Beatles’ studio, they’ve been session players for Barbra Streisand, and they’ve appeared on the Sonny & Cher Show and the Tonight Show. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see these amazing musicians live on stage. The show is co-sponsored by Orange Entertainment and the 1794 Meetinghouse.
