Description

Offering an incisive and sometimes caustic take on contemporary life in America, Randy Newman brings a menagerie of characters to life in his celebrated songs. His knack for story-telling has made him Hollywood’s favorite tunesmith, an Oscar-winning composer whose music has played an essential role in more than a dozen hit films including The Natural and Toy Story. Everyone from Ray Charles and Etta James to Peggy Lee and Dusty Springfield has recorded his music, but Newman is his own best interpreter. In this rare solo performance, Newman will perform selections from his acclaimed repertoire, which includes songs like “Sail Away,” “Political Science,” and the recent “A Few Words in Defense of Our Country,” as well as works from his new Nonesuch release, Harps and Angels (August 2008).
