Pre-election comic relief with musicians Roy Zimmerman & Teresa Tudury November 5, 2011

Teresa Tudury is back!

In her last performance at the Community Center the she drew a sell-out crowd and elicited many belly laughs and a standing ovation. With a compelling voice that magnetizes audiences, and comedic prowess to match, Teresa is a consummate performer who pours out her original songs with power, verve, passion, and disarming humor.

"Picture a cross between Bette Midler and Bonnie Raitt musically, and toss in the most side-splitting stage patter imaginable, and you have Ms. Tudury." -Johnny Angel, LA Weekly

"What we're talking about here, folks, is a star in the making."
Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times

Tudury has recorded or performed with such greats as Leonard Cohen, Rickie Lee Jones, Lyle Lovett, Taj Mahal, Leo Kottke and Bonnie Bramlett. She recently rereleased her 1992 self-titled solo album, Teresa Tudury, and her 2002 CD, River Of Life. Currently recording a CD of new material, and with a steady stream of concerts coming up, Teresa is a gifted artist in her prime.

Get ready for Roy Zimmerman!

The Los Angeles Times says, "Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society's foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer."

Tom Lehrer himself says, "I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to comedy songs. And the rhymes actually rhyme, they don't just 'rhyne.'"

Joni Mitchell says, "Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection."

Zimmerman has played clubs across the country, and shared the stage with George Carlin, Bill Maher, Kate Clinton, Dennis Miller, Sandra Tsing Loh, kd lang, Andy Borowitz and Paul Krassner.

Zimmerman founded and wrote all the material for the comedy folk quartet The Foremen. They got to sing Zimmerman's lampoon of Oliver North, "Ollie Ollie Off Scot Free" directly to the colonel himself on North's own syndicated show. "Friends," said North, "this is a very weird group."

Advance tickets highly recommended!
