Karla Bonoff
On March 2nd, Karla Bonoff will bring her classic songwriting to The ArtsCenter stage for an intimate evening of musical storytelling. Peter Holsapple, of dB?s legend, will open the evening. Tickets are $27 in Advance, $23 for ArtsCenter Friends, and $31 Day of Show and can be purchased at our box office at 300-G East Main St., by phone at (919) 929-2787, or online at www.ArtsCenterLive.org.
?For years we have awaited each Karla Bonoff album as if it were letters from a long lost home,? says ArtsCenter Executive Director Art Menius. ?We knew it would contain not only great songs that would soon be covered by seemingly everyone, who felt like we were hearing personal messages from a true friend. The opportunity to hear three foremost vocalists who appeared during the 1960s (Judy Collins), 1970s (Karla Bonoff), and 1980s (Suzanne Vega) so close together marks the kind of rare cultural programming that only The ArtsCenter can provide.?
Describing Karla Bonoff as one of the finest singer/songwriters of her generation grossly understates the case. With a career spanning four decades, Bonoff has enjoyed critical acclaim, commercial success, enduring popularity and the unwavering respect of her peers. In addition to achieving chart success with her own recordings, Karla has seen her songs become hits for such stellar artists as Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd and Linda Ronstadt. Many of Bonoff?s ballads are now pop classics. All the while, she has continued to tour extensively, playing sold-out shows around the world. Karla?s moving vocals on her rich, expressive songs is like standing beneath a sparkling waterfall?refreshing, exhilarating, restorative. And hearing them live, at The ArtsCenter, can be transformative ? especially with special guest Nina Gerber on guitar.
Chapel Hill legend Peter Holsapple, whose path breaking and iconic jangle-pop outfit the dB?s released its first new album in three decades last year, opens the evening.
Programs at The ArtsCenter are supported in part by Brooks Pierce, Chapel Hill Restaurant Group, Giorgios Hospitality Group, The North Carolina Arts Council, The Orange County Arts Commission, and Tony Hall and Associates.
