Grammy Nominee Sophie B. Hawkins Returns To Ridgefield Playhouse

Press release from The Ridgefield Playhouse:

Jan. 23, 2021

It’s a New Year and The Ridgefield Playhouse is back with new live shows for 2021! Singer Songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins returns to The Playhouse stage with two socially distanced, limited capacity shows on Sunday, February 21 at 4pm and 7:30pm as part of the Ridgefield Magazine Singer Songwriter Series and Pepsi Rock Series Powered by Xfinity.

Virtual tickets will also be available for those who want to watch from the comfort of their own home. The show will feature some of her most loved chart-topping songs as well as some new music and a few stories mixed in. Hawkins burst onto the international music scene with her 1992 platinum-selling debut album, “Tongues and Tails,” which included the indelible hit song “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover,” and earned her a Best New Artist Grammy nomination.

The last three decades have brought multiple awards, sold out concerts, appearances on film and television, performances with some of the best known names in the business, a documentary feature, a critically-lauded tour-de-force performance as Janis Joplin in the nationally-touring play “Room 105,” songs appearing in hit films and TV shows, and five more albums, including “Whaler,” which featured the record-breaking longest-running single in Billboard Adult Contemporary chart history, the Number One hit, “As I Lay Me Down.”

Sophie B. Hawkins has been tugging at heartstrings for decades with her powerful storytelling, crafting dizzying tunes that idle between the potently forlorn and the strangely comforting. Much more than just a singer, Sophie writes all of her own songs, is a multi-instrumentalist, and has been fully involved in every aspect of the production of her records herself, from background vocals and playing her own instruments, to engineering and production of her albums. She has proved an enduring artist with a fierce commitment to artistic integrity while both constantly evolving, and remaining steadfastly true to her own authentic history and experience which connects her to her fans at the very deepest levels.
