Her original music is always thoughtful and insightful. The music crosses many boundaries, part jazz, pop, folk and the songs are delivered in a passionate and moving manner. Julia will take you to places joyful, mysterious, and deep. Don't miss this incredible concert featuring this one-of-a-kind singer.

David Lindley
Saturday, January 11, 2014 - 7:30pm
Matilija Auditorium, Ojai
Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show.
$30 Adults ($35 at the door)
$28 Seniors (65+) / Students ($33 at the door)

"A David Lindley performance isn't just an awe-inspiring demonstration of string prowess. It's a portal to far-flung realms, a magic carpet ride skittering around the globe offering vivid glimpses of Jamaica, the Mississippi Delta, Madagascar, Turkey and Cuba."

The Johnny Clegg Band
Saturday, May 10, 2014 - 7:30pm
Fred Kavli Theatre, Thousand Oaks
One of the best concerts I have experienced in my life was the performance I attended at the Greek Theatre with Johnny Clegg. And now year's later, we are bringing this amazing performer to you. There are many words to describe Johnny Clegg ... inspirational, passionate, entertainer extraordinaire, activist, etc., but no words compare to the act of seeing him live.
The Johnny Clegg Band features Johnny Clegg on
guitar, vocals, and concertina with his long time,
six-piece band from South Africa (drums, bass, keyboards/saxophone, lead guitar, and backing vocalist.)

"...He is a compelling singer and he has a strong rock pop feel to his songs that have never distanced themselves from the Zulu music he grew up with"
- FAME reviewer
“Johnny Clegg was, in a word, brilliant. Our audience was inspired by his exuberance and moved by his long history of compassion and social justice... all through the most danceable music around. I’m still getting comments two months after the fact.”
- David Fischer, Broadway Center for the Performing Arts
