 The Clark Center for the Performing Arts in Arroyo Grande will present the eccentric and mysterious Blues legend Leon Redbone on Friday, April 29, 2011 at 8 p.m.
Recognized for his trademark white Panama hat, dark sunglasses and bow tie, Leon Redbone is a legendary singer with undefinable style. At the core of his initial calling was the desire to simply honor songs from the past - a waltz with bygone days that established him as sole curator of the museum of 20th century music. Over the course of his 30-plus year, 15-plus album career, Redbone has continued his love affair with tunes from the turn-of-the-19th century, flapper-era radio ditties, Depression-spawned ragtime and World War II folk-jazz. |
