PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION

An Evening with David Sedaris


David Sedaris, author of the previous bestsellers Calypso, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and regular National Public Radio contributor will be appearing for one night only at The Paramount Arts Center following the release of his newest books The Best of Me and A Carnival of Snackery.


This is a unique opportunity to see the best-selling humorist in an intimate setting. As always, Sedaris will be offering a selection of all-new readings and recollections, as well as a Q&A session and book signing. Books will be available for sale at the event, courtesy of Broadway Books.


With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, Mr. Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today. His new book, The Best of Me (Little Brown/ Hachette, Fall 2020), is a collection of 42 previously published stories and essays, about which novelist Andrew Sean Greer wrote in the New York Times: “You must read “The Best of Me.” It will be a new experience, knowing that enough time has passed to find humor in the hardest parts of life. More than ever — we’re allowed to laugh.”


If you love David Sedaris’s cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you’re getting into at his live readings. You’d be wrong. To see him read his own work on stage allows his autobiographical narrative to reveal a uniquely personal narrative that will keep you laughing throughout the evening. Don’t miss this event!

PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
Season 2 of the Comedy Zone continues with special guest Tammy Pescatelli!


Comedian Tammy Pescatelli is the kind of woman you wish was your sister or your best friend. Like a good sister she‘s always ready with a good joke or lively quip. Pescatelli grew up in a large crazy Italian family outside of Cleveland and went on to marry into an even larger crazier Italian family and has a little boy that she named after her husband-’just to prepare for Alzheimer’s!”


Her most recent 1 hour special “Finding the Funny” was released recently in an exclusive deal with the trailblazing company NETLFIX. Pescatelli’s eye for actually finding the funny in all situations is what is already bringing the project critical acclaim from fans and peers alike. “Finding The Funny” reached #3 on ITunes. Her reality series A Stand Up Mother (which she co-created executive produced wrote and starred in) on WEtv documented her life as she balanced her family and her growing career with a lot of laughs.


Being one of the Final Five on NBC‘s “Last Comic Standing 2“ catapulted Pescatelli’s career and won her a slew of new fans solidifying her as one of the sharpest women in the comedy world. She was recently chosen by Jenny McCarthy’s to be part of her “Dirty Sexy Funny” comedy special.  She is currently touring around the country with “Dirty Sexy Funny” and was recently on “The View.” She also appeared on Howard Stern.


Pescatelli won “Comedy Central‘s 2010 Stand-Up Showdown” and has appeared as a guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” several times. She recently appeared on “The View ” was also part of Fuel Tv’s Redbull Roast for professional wakeboarder Parxx Bonifay on BRAVO TV’s “Rocco’s Dinner Party”, CBS’s “The Talk ”, Nickeloden’s “NICK Mom’s Night Out ”, TVGuide’s “Stand-up in Stilettos ”, The Artie Lange Show, Opie and Anthony NBC‘s “Last Comic Standing: The Best of the Best ”, Comedy Central‘s “The World Stands Up The Bonnie Hunt Show ”, “TBS‘s Evening at the Laugh Factory ” “Last Call with Carson Daly ” and “Comics Unleashed.”

She was also featured weekly as part of the “Fashion Police” panel for US Weekly. She gave the pros a run for their money in the poker department and participated in the GSN poker series “Poker Royale: Comedians vs. Pros.” She finished in second place after beating all of the comedians and all of the pro’s but one. A regular on USO Comedy tours Tammy has entertained our troops all over the world.


She co-stars in the sleeper hit “Everybody Wants to Be Italian ” “Single ” and in the award winning indie film “Made in Brooklyn.”

On her previous album IT IS WHAT IT IS she used every bit of her experience to make us laugh about family religion and even politics (her

sister-in-law thinks Al Qaeda is a guy from the neighborhood.)

Tammy currently tours the country promoting her latest comedy DVD “Finding the Funny.”

Throughout their career, Blackberry Smoke -- vocalist/lead guitarist Charlie Starr, guitarist/vocalist Paul Jackson, bassist/vocalist Richard Turner, drummer Brit Turner, and keyboardist Brandon Still -- has embodied Georgia's rich musical legacy, honoring the people, places and sounds of their home state. As the band celebrates their 20th anniversary this year, their reverence for Georgia has only deepened.

On their latest album, You Hear Georgia, the follow-up to 2018's critically acclaimed Find a Light, Blackberry Smoke is further celebrating these roots with 10 new songs that feel like Georgia, accented by the addition of Grammy-winning producer and fellow Georgia-native, Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile). "Dave and I had spoken for the last few years about making a record," Starr says. "Finally, it worked out, our schedule and his schedule, and we said, yes -- let's make a record."

The hard-touring Blackberry Smoke knows a little something about hitting the road in order to find a place to belong. Over the years, the band's toured with ZZ Top, Zac Brown Band, and Eric Church, while the group's last four full-lengths reached the top 10 of the Billboard country charts, with two of these albums (2015's Holding All The Roses and 2016's Like An Arrow) landing at No. 1.

"Having played music together for so long, it does become a sort of a telepathic thing, where we all are nodding our head at the same time, like, 'A-ha, I know what this feels like,' or what it should feel and sound like," Starr says.

"That's what makes it so enjoyable to be in a band: to play with the same dudes decade after decade," he adds. "Because when you land on something that works to you, you don't want to stop. You want to keep doing it."

PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
When it comes to groundbreaking bands in the Christian hard-rock genre, Stryper is renowned for its distinctive brand of “heavenly metal,” extraordinary crossover success and venerable endurance.

The Grammy-Nominated and Dove Award Winning group ascended to prominence in the 1980s with Billboard Top 40 hits like “Calling on You,” “Honestly” and “Always There for You.”
Stryper’s career album sales exceed 10 million worldwide, including 1986’s multi-platinum release To Hell with the Devil.
The band also made history in 1987 when it notched three songs in Dial-MTV’s Top 10 with videos “Calling On You”, “Free”, and “Honestly”, being the first band ever to have two songs in the Top 10 simultaneously.


Comprising three original members including brothers Michael Sweet (lead vocals, guitar) and Robert Sweet (drums), Oz Fox (guitar) and newest bandmate, seasoned bassist Perry Richardson (formerly of Firehouse), the group finds itself creating their finest, most powerful music yet.
With an amazing 19 studio albums under their belt (all of which have charged on the Billboard Charts), the band has remained very active since their reformation in 2004 with Sirius XM radio host Eddie Trunk saying Stryper is “more active than any other band from the ‘80s”

Through it all, Stryper continues to remain steadfast in their faith and their commitment to musical excellence. As for what the future holds, especially during these uncertain
times, Sweet encourages everyone to be hopeful and prayerful.
“Whatever you believe, I challenge you to bow your head, look up to heaven, and say a prayer to God,” he says.
“Pray longer, pray harder and pray more often, and let’s see what happens. I guarantee it will change lives for the better.”

CANDLEBOX


Throw out any preconceived notions you may have about who Candlebox is. Wolves, the band’s seventh album which debuted at #7 on the Billboard Chart, is rife with brutal lyrical honesty and songs that run the gamut from dirty rock stompers to timeless, radio-ready pop-rock tunes. Wolves captures the live energy of a band embracing all its influences and coalescing them down into the most potent form. “These are songs that I love that the band loved. We didn't stop ourselves from recording anything if we dug it; we allowed each song to dictate to us what it needed musically, instrumentally,” explains singer Kevin Martin. Wolves is a modern rock album that also contains “that really sparkly acoustic, Radiohead kind of dreamy guitar and ethereal stuff; we pulled from everything that inspired us, from Neil Young to brand-new bands.”
