Bowersox, Van Pelt of ‘American Idol’ to perform at Park Theatre

Posted

After finishing as the runner-up on season 9 of “American Idol” and capturing hearts around the country with her rich blend of blues, country, folk and rock, Crystal Bowersox has established herself as one of the most dynamic young voices in music today.

On Saturday, Nov. 8, Bowersox will perform at the historic Park Theatre in Cranston with a special guest, Rhode Island’s own Erika Van Pelt.

Shortly after leaving the “American Idol” stage in 2010, Crystal Bowersox released her debut album, “Farmer’s Daughter,” which peaked at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Rock Chart. In 2013 Bowersox released her sophomore album, “All That for This,” exposing new dimensions of her music, a powerful testament to her talents as both a singer and songwriter. The album features the manifestation of Crystal’s own womanhood and enlightenment won through hard fought battles, failures and triumphs.

“I am more proud of this body of work than anything I’ve done before,” said Bowersox. “If this music can move someone to tears or make them smile, then I have really accomplished something, and that’s all I can ask for.”

Demonstrating her broad musical appeal, the 27-year-old Bowersox has performed alongside Harry Connick Jr., Alanis Morrisette, BB King, Joe Cocker and many others since rising to fame.

No stranger to the bright lights, especially in her home state, Erika Van Pelt’s unmistakable voice and ambition led her all the way to the Top 10 during season 11 of “American Idol.” Following performances during the international “American Idols LIVE! Tour” in 2012, Van Pelt released her debut album, “My Independence,” in 2013. Drawing influences from soul, rock, blues, funk, pop and even hip-hop, Van Pelt has a lot of new music on the way, teaming up with talented artists from around the world to collaborate both in the studio and on stage.

Prior to the show, the Park will host a “Meet and Greet” with Bowersox. During the special session, fans will receive an exclusive picture and photo with Crystal, an acoustic song performance and a question and answer session. Call the Park Theatre for more information.

Crystal Bowersox and special guest Erika Van Pelt will perform at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8. Tickets are $22 and $27 and can be purchased by calling the Park Theatre Box Office at 467-7275 or online at www.ParkTheatreRI.com. The Park Theatre is located at 848 Park Ave. in Cranston. Free parking is available for all shows.
