An Evening with Lisa Loeb

July 8, 2008
Tickets $20

In 1994 when Lisa Loeb’s breakout song, “Stay (I Missed You),” landed at No. 1 on the charts, it was a remarkable and unparalleled feat for an unsigned artist. That “Stay” became a No. 1 single and still resonates with people today is a testament to Loeb’s gift as a songwriter and storyteller. Details

The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster

July 17, 2008
Tickets $25

Writer Dan Aquilante compares this awe-inspiring songstress’ “deep gritty voice” to Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin and even declares “her cover of Lucinda Williams’ ‘Fruits of My Labor’ tops the original.”

Already adored in her native Texas, Foster is poised for international success. Her 2005 ‘Runaway Soul’ put her on the map with folk tastemakers but it’s her dip into Al Green and Sam Cooke stylings on ‘Phenomenal’ that will project her to heavyweight status. Details
