“A holiday show in two acts.

Judith Owen’s new album, Ebb and Flow, evokes the spirit of the halcyon days of the great 1970s troubadours is not accidental.

In a set of potent songs about love and loss, pain and joy, dreams and despair, the Welsh singer-songwriter fearlessly explores the duality of the human condition – and to do justice to the songs she turned to the legendary musicians who created the seventies troubadour sound.

Between them, her core band of drummer Russ Kunkel, bassist Leland Sklar and guitarist Waddy Wachtel played on many of the landmark albums from the era by the likes of Carole King, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne.

Join Harry Shearer for a rare personal appearance and interactive conversation regarding his wildly popular UK television series Nixon’s the One. In the series, Shearer recreates actual audio taped conversations of Richard Nixon from the White House – interesting, funny and bizarre!

Actor… author… director… comedian… musician… philosopher… political satirist… record-company owner… and one of the best voices in the business, Harry Shearer is a comic personality and modern day renaissance man.

For the past two decades, he has enjoyed enormous success and planted the fruits of his talents in the heads of millions worldwide thanks to his voice work for The Simpsons, where he plays a stable of characters: most notably Mr. Burns, Smithers, and insufferable neighbour Ned Flanders.”
