Kathy Mattea / Les Charbonniers de l'Enfer

Peter Jay Sharp Theatre $28; Members $24; Students $18

Kathy Mattea, Grammy and Country Music Association award-winning vocalist, carries on the Appalachian tradition of “songcatcher” with her acclaimed new album Coal, which pays tribute to her West Virginian family heritage in the region’s coal mining culture. Canada’s Les Charbonniers De L’Enfer (“little coal miners from Hell”), comprised of five superb singers including two who performed with La Bouttine Souriante, perform inspired a cappella interpretations of Quebecois folk music.

“Mattea’s alto shimmers with earthy grace.” —LA Times
