Author Talk - Linda Dobkins

Field House Museum

Step back in time with us on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at 11:00 AM as we welcome author Jo Allison to discuss the “uppity” women that have made St. Louis history.

Drawing from vignettes in Storied and Scandalous St. Louis: A History of Breweries, Baseball, Prejudice, and Protest, author Jo Allison will recount their stories and their continuing influence. Women who fought for freedom, workers’ rights, political recognition, and for themselves: we have a rich tapestry to explore for Women’s History Month.

This program is free with limited availability in person and on Zoom. Reservations must be made in advance on our website, by calling the Museum at 314-421-4689, or by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Amy LaVere and Will Sexton

Focal Point

Memphis based artists, Amy LaVere and Will Sexton have been music collaborators and touring companions for 11 years.  The quality of their craft, the miles traveled and their original catalog is ever growing. LaVere’s storytelling and songwriting is barbed and sharp, a delightful contrast to her sweet soprano vocals and smooth upright bass playing. The dark and charming writer has released seven solo recordings and has collaborated with many other artists. Her latest project is slated for release in April of 2025 and she’s currently working on her first novel, a work of ‘near fiction’ she calls it.

Over the past three decades, Will Sexton has grown into a skilled musical polymath: an esteemed writer, producer, session player and solo artist with a string of acclaimed LPs to his credit. Sexton’s seasoned guitar playing and velvet vocals are a superb fit to LaVere’s distinctive talent. Amy and Will are among the finest musical craftsmen and performers in the Americana genre. Their spellbinding show is incomparable, something you must see for yourself.
