Tapestry: The Music of Carole King
This is a beautiful re-creation of the Carole King songbook performed with live band and multi-media images. Carole King is without question the most successful and revered female singer-songwriter in pop music history. More than 400 of her compositions have been recorded by over a thousand artists, resulting in 100 hit singles. It was her 1971 album "Tapestry" that took King to the pinnacle, winning all three of the key Grammy Awards - record, song and album of the year as well as best female vocalist honors for King. With more than 25 million units sold, Tapestry remained the best-selling album by a female artist for a quarter century, and King went on to amass three other platinum and seven gold albums. Starring Jeannie Austin on piano and vocals with her back-up singers and band, Tapestry: Tribute to Carole King faithfully recreates the glorious sound of a Carole King concert, complete with such hits as "You've Got a Friend," "Take Good Care of My Baby, "The Loco-motion," "Natural Woman," "It's Too Late," "So Far Away," "I Feel the Earth Move" and more.

Creedence Clearwater Revisited **
Creedence Clearwater Revival founding members and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Stu Cook and Doug "Cosmo" Clifford have been on quite a ride. Following their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cosmo and Stu launched their Creedence Clearwater Revisited project in 1995 to once again perform live in concert their hit songs -- touchstones of a generation. Since then, the legendary rhythm section has been thrilled by the outpouring of affection for their new band. World tours and a platinum-selling album Recollection followed. The astounding response to the band has been driven in part by new generations of fans that, as Cosmo says, "weren't even born when the music came out." In 2013, Classic Rock Revisited critic Jeb Wright wrote about a Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert that he attended: "The true test of any concert is how the music makes you feel. On this night, this writer walked away with a wonderful feeling, having just witnessed timeless, historical music, performed to perfection. Creedence Clearwater Revisited not only looks to the past, performing iconic songs, they bring them to the modern day, reminding us all of the true importance of this music."
