Williamson and Fure perform "Beneath the Covers"

Nearly 25 years of song writing and performing will be showcased Saturday, when Chris Williamson and Tret Fure come to St. Louis. An "Evening of Favorites," chosen by fans will be performed by the duo at Westport Playhouse.

Williamson and Fure have recorded nearly thirty albums between them and their second collaboration together, "Between the Covers," was released to acclaim last year. They have been performing and sharing their lives together for over fifteen years. Their songs are full of spirit and humor and have been lauded by fans like Bonnie Raitt.

Raitt said their latest album was "a beautiful celebration of Chris and Tret's love for each other. The deepening of their commitment and artistry is an inspiration to me."

Williamson began recording music in 1964, and her record, "The Changer and the Changed," is one of the biggest selling independent releases of all time. Williamson started an all women's music label, Olivia, in a time when women did not have much power in the music industry.

Fure began her musical career at an early age, writing songs for and touring with Spencer Davis. She had a self-title release on MCA and opened for such big name acts as Yes, Poco and The J. Geils Band. Fure eventually left the mainstream industry for the independent world of women's music, where she first met Fure.

Reserved seats for the event are available for $22.50 at the Westport Playhouse box office. The show begins at 7:15 p.m. with the St. Louis duo, Girls with Guitars, opening. The show is being produced by Amy Doll and Linda Serafini from KDHX's show "Out and Open." The concert is a benefit for KDHX and The Center.
