Actress Mare Winningham brings ’Jewgrass’ to Arkansas

By Danielle Berrin, Contributing Writer JewishJournal.com

Mare Winningham is about to make Jewish history.

On Aug. 26 at the Eureka Springs Bluegrass Festival, the Torah will meet Southern spirituals when Winningham becomes the first Jewish cowgirl singer to headline the earth-shakin', soul-savin' "Sunday Gospel" show.

"I know Kinky Friedman did his Jew cowboy stuff, but I don't think anybody's done Jewgrass," said the 48-year-old actress who has garnered Emmy and Oscar nominations. "Since I discovered Judaism, I was writing songs for God and learning Israeli folk songs and Hebrew songs."

Her Jewish journey since converting in 2003 will continue in Arkansas when she performs her unique brand of folk music from her recent album "Refuge Rock Sublime," a project born at last year's festival that combines Jewish psalms, prayers and poems with an amalgam of blues, jazz and country.

Winningham received a 1996 Oscar nomination for her role as a country music star in "Georgia," and has regularly performed country-tinged folk in nightclubs. In August 2006, when she was in Arkansas filming the upcoming drama "War Eagle," hundreds of musicians rolled into town for the Eureka Springs Bluegrass Festival, the Woodstock of bluegrass. With her guitar in hand, Winningham joined the musical frolic.

"All the musicians were booked into [our] hotel and they were playing everywhere, in the lobby ... in the hallways, by the pool -- everyone was ... passing guitars and sharing songs."

Her own acoustic renderings caught the attention of renowned instrumentalist Tim Crouch. When they discovered a shared passion and vision for the genre, they made plans to convert traditional bluegrass to "Jewgrass," a distinctive melding of her Jewish country songs interlaced with his instrumentals on the fiddle, mandolin and banjo, for her album.

The actress grew up in a Catholic home before developing doubts about her faith. After enrolling in an Introduction to Judaism course at American Jewish University (formerly University of Judaism) in 2001, she converted to Judaism.

"Refuge Rock Sublime" reflects her ensuing spiritual journey and the profound connection she feels towards Jewish life and values.

"I was so deeply affected by something God says to David, about how 'the recitation of one of your psalms will mean more to me than thousands of sacrifices in the temple' and I thought, how great to sing a song for God and how great if it could be a folk song, because it's inclusive and it's better with more people singing."

While in New York this summer starring in an off-Broadway play, Winningham soaked up Jewish life ("I went to seven synagogues") and set her sights on temples as a forum for engaging the Jewish community with her new sound.

Winningham hopes to prove that implicit in folk music is a strong sense of community: "I want to impart 'What Would David Do'; in answer to when things are bad, when it's hard, it is our obligation to choose life and to face it with joy -- that's something I'd love to continue to sing about."

Spring Street Sweethearts!!!

Eureka Springs Sweethearts Day Celebrates Suffragette Anniversary

– If suffragette Charlotte Woodward were alive to see "Spring Street Sweethearts Day" in Eureka Springs on September 1, 2007, she would be proud all over again. 87 years ago this week she cast her first vote proudly when women won the vote throughout the nation. The First Annual Spring Street Sweethearts Day in Eureka Springs celebrates the anniversary with an entire day of free women's music and art in the park.

The celebration, free and open to the public, is from 10 am until 6 pm in Basin Spring Park in historic downtown Eureka Springs. Visitors can see the paintings, glass work and sculptures of local female artists and watch them at their craft. The artists include Lindy Ray, Fran Carlin, Laura Waters, Jamie Froelich, Barb Kerbox, Paula Tyndale, Katie Keck, Vickie Rose, Carol Saari, Ginger Crump and Elizabeth Wolf.

The music begins at 11 am and includes nationally known singers such as Sarah Hughes and Susan Shore as well as local favorites Catherine Reed, Emily Kaitz and Opal Fly.

Sarah Hughes is no stranger to fans of music in the Ozarks. She was recently named 2007 Female Singer/Songwriter of the Year at the Northwest Arkansas Music Awards. Previous awards from the same organization include Band, Album, and Female Vocalist of the Year. The Ozark Music Awards have similarly smiled on Ms. Hughes, naming her Folk Artist, Songwriter, Female Vocalist, Folk Band, and Performer of the Year between 2004 and 2006.

Susan Shore is similarly nationally known and an engagingly offbeat performer. A native of Iowa, she now makes her home in Northwest Arkansas. Shore is a "songwriter with rare depth and wisdom who can successfully relate her own Midwestern experiences to a wide, diverse audience," according to the Daily Iowan.

In case of rain the event will move to The Gem (lower level of the City Auditorium.) For information on Spring Street Sweethearts Day, call 479-253-2586 or 888-855-7823. For details on Eureka Springs tourism, call 866-947-4387 or go online at www.eurekasprings.org.
