Kristen Graves, CT State Troubadour, Performs in Greenwich

Kristen Graves, the 2013-2014 Connecticut State Troubadour, will perform at a Food & Folk fundraiser at the Round Hill Community House on March 9. The evening is presented by Round Hill Community Church to benefit Simply Smiles, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building bright futures for impoverished children on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota and Oaxaca, Mexico. Graves is a folk/pop singer and songwriter with a commanding voice, powerful lyrics, and moving stories behind each song. She has been writing and performing her own songs since 2000, and has toured nationally since 2002 (www.KristenGraves.com).

Before the concert, an authentic Mexican buffet will be served. The meal will be prepared by Gabriela Chávez Hernández who grew up in Oaxaca, and became the first recipient of a Simply Smiles college scholarship to study in the U.S. Gabriela recently earned her associate's degree in business at Norwalk Community College and is currently completing her bachelor’s degree at Sacred Heart University.

Tickets for the Food and Folk event are $25 and can be obtained by calling 203-869-1091. All proceeds benefit Simply Smiles. Round Hill Community House is located at 397 Round Hill Road, Greenwich.
