Rosie Thomas debuts her new film and a song or two at Fremont Abbey Arts Center
Seattle, WA - January 21st, 7pm, $10 tickets available

About the film: Using intimate live performances with fellow songwriters Sufjan Stevens and Denison Witmer as a pathway, All the Way from Michigan Not Mars is a meditative exploration of Rosie Thomas' work as it connects to her as a human being. Often raising more questions than answers, the film is a lyrical examination of Thomas' quest for an expression of truth and her unique brand of performance; combining songs of plaintive melancholy with sharp-witted banter and Sheila, her bizarre stand-up comedian alter ego. To view trailers and purchase tickets go to www.fremontabbey.org.


About Rosie Thomas: Nurturing a soft yet influential portrayal of the yearning, sorrow, and laughter in the human story is Thomas’ strength. As a transplant from Detroit, now-Seattleite, and once signed to Sub Pop Records, Rosie Thomas has performed and worked with Sufjan Stevens, Denison Witmer, Damien Jurado, and David Bazan. She will introduce her new film with a few songs and an appearance of her alter ego, Sheila. www.rosiethomas.com
