Celebrate Valentine's Day Early With New Settlers

Everyone loves a love song, right? But no one more than singer/songwriters, who write about love in any conceivable form. This Saturday, New Settlers celebrates Valentine’s Day, with Anne Hills, Pierce Pettis, Cheryl Wheeler, Brooks Williams, Tom Prasada-Rao and others, recorded at the Old Settlers Inn and other venues in and around Wichita.

Some examples:

Here is Cheryl Wheeler. I love so many of her tunes but this early love song is a favorite.

And this is Brooks Williams with "Knife Edge" - a dangerous mountain passage and perfect metaphor for a relationship.
