Sophie B. Hawkins emerged in 1992 with her debut album, Tongues and Tails, which quickly went gold, earned her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, and fired her hit single "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" into Billboard's Top Five. Another gold album, Whaler, followed two years later along with the single, "As I Lay Me Down," which stayed on the Billboard charts for a record-breaking 67 weeks. Within a few years, she had won universal respect for her rare blend of gutsy honesty.
Hawkins studied at the Manhattan School of Music, and with African drum legend Babatunde Olatuni. The exotic percussion style that she developed during this time has fascinated her since, as evidenced by her 2004 album Wilderness.
In August 2006, she released her debut live album, the Bad Kitty Board Mix, a two-disc set that captures her true energy and essence as a performer.
This is the third season that An Appalachian Summer Festival has partnered with Westglow Resort & Spa to present an evening of great entertainment combined with the culinary offerings of the celebrated Rowland's Restaurant on Westglow's exquisite grounds. Reserve your tickets now—this event has limited seating and sells out quickly.
