Livingston Taylor & Kara Bonoff

Livingston Taylor has enthralled audiences for 50 years with a diverse original repertoire of country, folk, bluegrass, and blues. His Top 40 hits I Will Be in Love with You, and I'll Come Running launched his career, and a steady song output has characterized his performances ever since. Liv has toured with Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett, and Fleetwood Mac among many others, but his fans most often come to see him to experience the winning combination of raconteur, balladeer, and pure fun music making that characterize his concerts. Livingston's fourteenth album, Last Alaska Moon is out now. For more information, please visit http://www.livtaylor.com.

Karla Bonoff has been described as one of the finest singer/songwriters of her generation. 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 charting with her own recordings, Karla has seen her songs become hits for Bonnie Raitt, Wynona Judd and Linda Rondstadt. Many of Bonoff's ballads are classics. She tours extensively, playing sold out shows around the world. Experiencing Karla's moving vocals on her rich, expressive songs can be transformative. Hear her perform some of her most popular material: All My Life; Someone to Lay Down Beside Me; Tell Me Why; and Lose Again. For more information, please visit www.karlabonoff.com.

Jimmy Webb

Jimmy Webb is an American songwriter, composer and singer known worldwide as a master of his trade.

Since his first platinum hit The Worst That Could Happen, Webb has had numerous hits including Up, Up and Away, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Wichita Lineman, Galveston, All I Know and MacArthur Park, and has also become a leader and mentor in the industry as a champion for songwriters. Webb is the only artist ever to have received GRAMMY Awards for music, lyrics and orchestration. His numerous accolades include the prestigious Ivor Novella International Award (2012) and the Academy of Country Music's Poet Award (2016). In 2016 Rolling Stone Magazine listed Webb as one of the top 50 songwriters of all time. Jimmy Webb was the youngest person ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and served as its Chairman.
