Gayle Skidmore
Her new neoclassical album, The Ashtabula River Railroad Disaster, explores the tragic collapse of a railroad bridge in Ashtabula, Ohio, in December 1876. The disaster claimed the lives of 92 people, including Skidmore’s relative, hymn writer Philip P. Bliss. "Not only is this album different because it is an entirely instrumental solo piano, but it is also focused on a singular historical event. I've never released anything like this before." She'll debut songs from the album at Lestat's on April 26.
