This year’s concert, “We Stand on Their Shoulders,” will include Christine Broxterman on cello, Kansas Poet Laureate Emeritus Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, a raffle, and other merriment. The evening benefits Stitching Change serving refugee women in Kansas City.

#6 Folk Alliance International (FAI) Folk Chart Top Albums | August 2023

"Joy Zimmerman's follow up to her very fine 2021 album, The Canvas Before Us, is an even better representation of her considerable singing, songwriting, and violin playing skills. If I had to choose one adjective to describe this album, it would be 'uplifting.' Even when dealing with difficult topics, Joy finds a way to an affirming, positive place. It's difficult for me to pick which of these songs will get the most play on my radio show, as there are so many good ones." ~Bob McWilliams, Host of Trail Mix, Kansas Public Radio

"Joy Zimmerman has the knack for taking an audience on a musical journey with storytelling and music in a way few artists are able to do. With her latest album, Joy surpasses even herself. This album should be in every folk music lover's collection."  ~Dani Goodband, Lakeside Music
