Cowboy Junkies at SOPAC

The Cowboy Junkies burst onto the independent music scene in 1988 with their critically acclaimed album, The Trinity Session, recorded live on a single Calrec stereo microphone at Toronto’s Church of the Holy Trinity, and featuring a now classic cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane.” State of the Arts talks with lead singer Margo Timmins, and catches the alternative folk/rock band in a sold-out performance at the South Orange Performing Arts Center. Mark Packer, executive director of SOPAC, comments on how the performing arts center is becoming known for presenting Americana music.
