Al Franken | ||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Jan 8 Sat
|
Al Franken Franken was at Saturday Night Live during the early days with Gilda, Chevy, Belushi, and Aykroyd and stayed as a host of newcomers arrived including Chris Rock and Chris Farley. While there, he joined with Jim Downey, a Republican, to write much of Saturday Night Live’s political satire, the two finding common ground with observations that made audiences laugh regardless of their political views. After leaving SNL, he took a far more acerbic approach with such best-selling books as “Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations,” and “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.” From 2004-2007, he was the top progressive radio talk show host in the country. In 2008, Franken was elected to the US Senate and then re-elected in
2014, leading on such issues as health care, education, privacy, and
arbitration. Since leaving that post, he has focused his Al Franken Podcast
on important issues facing the country, from the Supreme Court to climate
change, voicing his ideas with his trademark intelligence and humor and
never ever afraid to “tell it like it is.”

Happy Birthday, Elvis! - The "Early Elvis Tribute" Show | ||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Jan 9 Sun
|
Happy Birthday, Elvis! - The "Early Elvis
Tribute" Show January 8 marks the 85th Birthday of Musical Icon ELVIS PRESLEY…and his legacy lives on. Pleasanton’s Firehouse Arts Center kicks off a new year with the welcome return of Jim Anderson & The Rebels and their homage to Elvis Presley and their special “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELVIS” matinee show on Sunday, January 9 at 2pm. JIM ANDERSON has made quite a name for himself with his tribute to the early years and early hits of Elvis Presley. Jim is not an ‘Elvis Impersonator’. He is, however, thought by many to be the best interpreter of ‘Early Elvis’ around. For those who had the opportunity to see and hear Elvis Presley in the first half of his career (1954-1966), this show will bring back favorite memories. For those who never had the opportunity to see Elvis when his brand of rock ‘n’ roll was considered too dangerous for “the youth of today,” this show will take you back in time and introduce the songs that changed the direction of music for decades to come. Dubbed the “KING OF ROCK AND ROLL”, Elvis is regarded as one of the most
significant cultural icons of the 20th century…and beyond. From “HEARTBREAK
HOTEL” and “HOUND DOG”, to “DON’T BE CRUEL” and “JAILHOUSE ROCK”, these are
the songs that keep the legend alive. JIM ANDERSON, along with his rockin’
band – THE REBELS, recreates the sound, the songs, and the memories to join
crowds in Memphis and fans all over the world to say…HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELVIS! |

Ed Kinney Speaker Series - An afternoon or

theatrical tributes that exist today, focusing on delivering energetic,
note-for-note vocal and instrumental performances of the Eagles’ music.

Live on stage, their songs carry the listener along until, at the perfect moment, the band crescendos into catchy choruses with pitch perfect harmonies. We Banjo 3 deliver their music with such palpable rapport, stunning precision, and infectious energy, it’s impossible to pigeonhole what kind of listener might suddenly consider themselves a WB3 fan. Actor/comedian and musician Steve Martin says of the band, “We Banjo 3…are making waves…here in America. They are playing the banjo in a style that I didn’t even know could be played like that.” Sponsor: City of Pleasanton Location: Firehouse Arts Center - 4444 Railroad Ave, Pleasanton Times: 7:30pm Admission: $40/$35/$30 More info: www.firehousearts.org |
