Imagine combining a group touted for their “ambrosia-like harmonies” with the only female member of the Outlaws (think Waylon, Willie and Johnny).
The result: Wild Women of the West, a show at the Boulder Theater Jan. 16, a collaborative effort between musicians the Rhythm Angles and Jessi Colter.
With their contemporary, rootsy Americana sound, Boulder resident Rebecca Folsom and former Denver resident Celeste Krenz make up the duo, the Rhythm Angels. The event is also a release party for their new CD, “Girls Like Us.” Both Folsom and Krenz have successful solo careers but their work together creates something totally different.
“When you hear a good harmony, it’s transportive,” says Folsom. Joining them for this second-annual event is Jessi Colter, regarded as the first female country artist to cross over to pop with her 1975 hit “I’m Not Lisa.”
“She is the epitome of what we’re trying to put together with Wild Women of the West,” says Folsom.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 at www.bouldertheater.com. A portion of the proceeds will go to Blue Sky Bridge, a local organization to help children who are victims of sexual assault.
Tickets to the VIP party before the event are $100. All proceeds from this party will also benefit Blue Sky Bridge.
