Bread Box Hosting Acclaimed Singer-Songwriters

WILLIMANTIC, CT — Acclaimed singer-songwriters Leslie Mendelson and Kala Farnham are slated to Perform at The Bread Box.

Here is the billing:

The Bread Box Folk Theater, 220 Valley Street in Willimantic, is proud to announce a special performance by acclaimed singer-songwriters Leslie Mendelson and Kala Farnham on Sunday, October 6th, at 4:00 PM. This event promises an unforgettable afternoon of live music while supporting the Covenant Soup Kitchen, as all proceeds from the concert will benefit the local non-profit.

Leslie Mendelson is a Brooklyn-based artist known for her soulful, emotionally charged performances and songwriting that resonates with a wide audience. Her 2020 album, If You Can't Say Anything Nice…, drew critical acclaim for its depth and sincerity, blending elements of folk, pop, and Americana. Mendelson has toured internationally and has shared stages with musical legends such as The Who’s Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey. In 2019, Mendelson co-wrote the song “A Human Touch” with Jackson Browne. Written for the documentary film 5B, “A Human Touch” is a song about just that, the human touch. In the documentary film the nurses and doctors of 5B altered the way those living with AIDS were cared for and gave hope to those affected.

Joining Mendelson on stage will be Kala Farnham, an award-winning singer-songwriter hailing from Connecticut. Farnham’s music is an ethereal blend of folk, pop, and classical influences, showcased in her most recent album, Your Spirit Is a Work of Art, which earned her accolades in the New England music scene. Her heartfelt lyrics and masterful piano and guitar work have captivated audiences throughout the Northeast. Farnham is also the current Connecticut State Troubadour. She will be performing a Tribute to Carole King.

The Bread Box Folk Theater, a community-driven venue in Willimantic, is dedicated to presenting exceptional music in an intimate setting, all in the name of a good cause.
