Out in the Mountains Jess Hawk Oakenstar Performs Cheri Goldstein Jess Hawk Oakenstar will be returning to the Barre Montpelier area on Friday, September 17th to perform at the Barre Universalist Church at 7:30 pm. There will be a benefit buffet dinner before the concert at 6:00 pm. Jess is a lesbian solo perforrnerl songwriter whose deep rich voice and sophisticated guitar work fuse con- temporary folk, country and rock into her own style. She writes and presents songs with an attitude although she is definitely a performer without one. Her songs cover such subjects as women’s heroism, friendship, unity and Desert Storm. ' Oakenstar was born and raised in Zim- babwe, and later lived in New Zealand, during which time she was involved in women’s music as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter. She has written and per- formed music for feminist theater and re- vues, and has toured New Zealand with two of the revues. Oakenstar’s return is co-sponsored by the Vermont Coalition of Lesbians and Gay Men and the Barre Universalist Church.
