Artist's Website: Cris Williamson

Cris Williamson returns to Jonathan’s in Ogunquit for a celebration and special 50th Anniversary solo presentation of the beloved Changer and the Changed, the album that became the soundtrack of a movement. 

“The Changer”  as it is often called, is a seminal album in feminist music history. Released in 1975 on Olivia Records, an all-women recording company, the album is considered a cornerstone of women’s music. NPR’s Music Critic Ann Powers has praised the album as a work that explores themes of loss, grief, and renewal, suggesting it’s a portal that allows listeners to travel through time and return refreshed. The album’s impact is significant, with Powers and others highlighting its enduring influence on the folk, pop, and feminist music movements. 

“Even though it’s over 50 years old, The Changer and the Changed seems to still hold water, and continue to refresh those who find it. I’m honored to claim it, and thrilled to perform it. What a joy to play these old songs. It feels new every time!” – Cris

Come join Cris in celebration, and bring your memories.
