The historic Fargo Theatre in downtown Fargo, ND, will once more host the 13th annual Celebration of Women and Their Music on Saturday, February 20, 2010, at 6:30 PM. Founder, blues singer and caterer Deb Jenkins, has drawn twelve class acts from the region to showcase their talents. These musical artists will be performing in a range of musical genres. Those selected for this year’s event are:

Ann Reed, Chastity Brown, Chasity Brown, Deb Jenkins, Emily Holt, Haley Rydell, Kris Kitko, Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles, Naphtalia (Sommer Robels), Sarah Morrau, Nita Velo, and Rosemary Sauvageau.

This is a non-profit event. None of the artists involved get paid, but they bring their talents and support to a young female artist who will receive a scholarship award in conjunction with the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation. Sometimes the Celebration of Women and Their Music offers more than one scholarship to a young woman in high school. The award recipient will also perform during the show.

There are also a number of events leading up to and preceding the Celebration of Women and Their Music concert.
