Oct. 6, 6–9pm: Singer-Songwriter Night at GROW. $10 at the door.

Katie Godfrey is a wife, mom, and teacher. In the Appalachian tradition, she writes songs that tell stories about the ins and outs of everyday life.

Candace Chellew began writing songs in her teenage years, because no one told her she couldn’t. After teaching herself guitar and joining a punk band in the 1980s, she put her guitar down and followed false trails to happiness through journalism and ministry, finally arriving back at her first love: music. She now writes and plays better than her younger self, but never forgot the thrill of hearing the first hints of a song enter her heart and mind. The muse insists she sing folk-inspired songs of love, peace, and unity. She gladly agrees. Chellew is currently working on her first album to be released in 2025.

Originally hailing from New Jersey, c_era grew up playing fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, surrounded by family with a hefty love for bluegrass music. Later, while living in Colorado, she started to put pen to paper and write songs about life, love, loss, and everything in between. Her style now sits somewhere between bluegrass, folk, roots, and Celtic.
