Sat, Sep 4; a “SHOW-OF-THE-WEEK” pick:
5 & 8 pm ROY ZIMMERMAN, plus VICKI JUDITZ opening, for two shows this evening at the “Parlor Performances” series at Cornerstone Music Conservatory, above Fields Pianos, 12121 W Pico Bl (one door W of Bundy); free parking; reservations, Jeannine@FrankEntertainment.com or 310-476-6735.
+
ROY ZIMMERMAN is a Guide favorite, and he’s performed live on radio’s “Tied to the Tracks.” Roy is the best political-comedic songwriter on the circuit today. (Roy opens for “The Daily Show's” John Oliver Saturday, Aug 14, in the Berkshires).
+
An evening with singing social satirist Roy Zimmerman is a memorable experience, given his "...lacerating wit and keen awareness of society's foibles [that] bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer," says the Los Angeles Times.
+
TOM LEHRER himself says, “If I were still performing, I’d be doing ROY ZIMMERMAN songs.”
+
Zimmerman writes fiercely funny songs about ignorance, war and greed. In eleven albums over twenty years, he has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for peace and social justice. His songs are heard on NPR, PRI and Sirius Radio.
+
His YouTube videos have earned OVER TWO MILLION VIEWS and tens of thousands of comments, and Roy adds, “many of them coherent!” He will perform some of his classics plus just-released gems from his new CD. Meantime, enjoy his originals “CREATION SCIENCE 101” at www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIwiPsgRrOs and “PSYCHEDELIC RELIC” at www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpLLv_zjuzg
+
Plus ~
Special opening act VICKI JUDITZ, performing a selection from her hilarious eco-comedy, “Adventures of the Green Housewife.” The Los Angeles Times calls her "...a born storyteller... what sets her writing, and her performance, apart is her sense of humor, and an eye for the incongruous and ridiculous." Venue has limited seating (about 70, seats going fast) so reserve promptly. It’s upstairs – or elevator – to the 2nd floor. Tix, $25 ($20 w/ reservation by Aug 15).
