Judith Owen
featuring the legendary Leland Sklar
Performance of the Month

Join singer-songwriter and pianist Judith Owen for an intimate performance featuring legendary bassist Leland Sklar and master percussionist Pedro Segundo.

The songstress is known for her love of musical variety and melding it into a great stylistic gumbo all her own. Her 2016 release, Somebody’s Child, is the culmination of this mix: voice and piano front and center, songs that are vignettes of life crafted from the perspective that we are all “somebody’s child” – parental, as well as planetary. The Sunday Times UK chose it as one of the best records of that year.

Her live performances, whether as a headliner or as the handpicked opening act for Bryan Ferry’s recent tours of Europe and North America, have been wowing listeners and gaining fans like fellow artist Jackson Browne, who said of Owen’s onstage prowess: “It’s a masterclass on how a show should be done.”

This performance was originally recorded live on August 29, 2017, at Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, CA.

Jane Lynch
See Jane Sing
Performance of the Month

Emmy- and Golden Globe-winner Jane Lynch's See Jane Sing, a musical comedy cabaret show, first delighted audiences at the 2016 Festival of Arts Celebrity Benefit Event, which Lynch also hosted. Joining her on stage are special guests Kate Flannery of The Office and Tim Davis, Glee’s former vocal arranger.

Accompanied by a five-piece band, Jane Lynch shows off her musical chops and comedic wit and charm. Her live performance takes audiences on a musical journey through a world of songs from Broadway to cabaret with new takes on If Wishes Were Rainbows, Mr. Monotony, Far From the Home I Love, an epic take on Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda, and a medley of songs that made her cry as a child, including Puff the Magic Dragon.
