We love bringing these two talented artists to Rehoboth Beach!
Steff Mahan Nashville is the home of many LGBTQ+ performers and Steff is sitting on a festival stage or on a Nashville performers stage with the best of them. Sweet and soulful is the sound of Nashville based singer/songwriter Steff Mahan. With a voice that is pure and powerful and lyrics that are heart-crafted and rock-solid, it’s hard to not get hooked on the emotional truth that comes out of this born songwriter’s mouth.Mahan’s entertaining Americana mix of rock, roots, folk and country has generated six albums, including her most recent release, Enough. We welcome her to Rehoboth Beach for her first performance with our community.
Erin Foley is no stranger to the LGBTQ+ comedy line up! Nationally headlining comedian Erin Foley has appeared everywhere from late-night shows like Conan and @Midnight to Chelsea Lately, to Curb Your Enthusiasm, to the cult classic film Almost Famous, and more.
Erin has her own Comedy Central Presents half-hour special and has performed at the New York Comedy Festival, Montreal Comedy Festival, San Francisco Sketchfest, Women in Comedy Festival, and Moontower Comedy Festival.
As a TV writer, Erin wrote on That 90’s Show and the critically acclaimed sitcom One Day At A Time (Netflix). She has three full-length comedy albums, including Deep Dive, Lady with Pockets, and Lower the Bar.
Erin is the host and creator of Herlights, a top-rated podcast dedicated to covering women's sports.

REHOBOTH PRIDE PRESENTS- ERIN McKEOWN & KAREN WILLIAMS
WELCOME TO REHOBOTH PRIDE WEEKEND!
WOMEN’S MUSIC AND COMEDY PRESENT-
Our lineup is very special this evening as we honor our friend and brilliant artist Jill Sobule who was to be with us this evening yet recently passed away. A huge loss for the community.
The doors will open this evening at 5PM and we will be showing the film not to be missed!

Radical Harmonies (2002) is an 88-minute documentary produced and directed by Academy AwardTM nominee Dee Mosbacher. It chronicles the evolution of the history of a movement that became known as Women’s Music (mostly lesbian) through festival and performance footage, interviews, and archival material from the 1960s to the 1990s.
Co-producer Dr. Boden Sandstrom PhD will introduce the film and have a Q&A following
Musician Erin McKeown and Comedian Karen Williams will bring much needed artistry in music, story telling, comic relief, support for the LGBTQ community and a fun hysterical evening!
We are so grateful that Erin McKeown They/Their could join us this evening. Erin followed Jill Sobule and Jills style like no other and is a musician, writer, and producer known internationally for their prolific disregard of stylistic boundaries. Their brash and clever electric guitar playing is something tosee. Their singing voice is truly unique —clear, cool, and collected. Over the last 20 years, they have performed around the world, released 11 full length albums, and written for film, television, and theater, all the while refining their distinctive and challenging mix of American musical forms. If you loved Jill Sobule you will adore Erin!
Karen Williams is known for her quick repartee, insightful commentary and audience rapport, Williams is a comic craftmaster, a gifted actor, a multitalented writer, and an inspirational lecturer. Armed with her "heal with humor" philosophy, she gives
humor workshops specifically designed to build self-awareness and self-confidence, and to encourage tolerance and respect for the dignity of human life.
