Rock for Reproductive Rights: A Benefit for Ipas Featuring
TRES CHICAS
Saturday, December 17th
8:00 pm
ArtsCenter

Back from a European tour where they recorded a new album and wowed 
another continent, Lynn Blakey, Caitlin Cary, and Tonya Lamm are home in 
North Carolina. With an emphasis on harmony singing, TRES CHICAS perform 
original songs and choice covers. The Los Angeles Daily News said they 
"join together to create some of the sweetest (but never saccharine) 
country rock ever." Tonight, they play to benefit Ipas, a Chapel 
Hill-based non-profit that works to protect women's reproductive health 
and rights around the world. Ipas believes that no woman should have to 
risk her life or health for lack of safe reproductive choices. For more 
information visit www.ipas.org. $15, $12 ArtsCenter Friends.
