The University Program Council will present “An Intimate Evening with Mary Lambert” at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10 in the Centennial Room of the Nebraska Union.

This event will be free for UNL students with a valid NCard and $10 for all others.

Known for her emotional and visceral songwriting, Lambert is a Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and spoken word artist from Seattle. Her career as a solo artist gained momentum after she found her start singing the hook on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ double-platinum song, “Same Love.” She recently performed with Madonna at the Grammys, and her solo single, “She Keeps Me Warm,” debuted at No. 2 on the iTunes singer/songwriter chart.

Also an award winning spoken-word artist, she published her first book of poetry in 2013. Inspired by confessional folk singers as well as spoken-word performers, she is a candid writer who deals directly in her art with a variety of past experiences. She balances her presentation with healthy doses of humor and, in conversation, is known to be upbeat, funny and engaging.
