Mare Winningham sings at AR bluegrass fest
Here’s a follow-up to a post from this past June, about movie and television actress Mare Winningham having released a spiritual CD of folk and bluegrass tinged music, but framed by her perspective as a recent convert to Judaism.
The CD is entitled Refuge Rock Sublime, and has attracted some attention from the Jewish press.
Winngham recently appeared at a bluegrass festival in Arkansas, singing her songs during the Sunday Gospel show at the Eureka Springs Bluegrass Festival. This generated two stories about the Torah/Gospel convergence, one in The Arkansas Democrat Gazette, and the other at JewishJournal.com.

Read more about Refuge Rock Sublime in our earlier post. You can find a music video for one of the songs from the CD, Valley Of The Dry Bones, on JewishJournal.com (scroll down for the video).
