Chris Isaak Chris Isaak's varied career has included the hit songs "Wicked
Game," "Somebody's Crying," and "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing,"
appearances in several motion pictures and a critically acclaimed TV series. Throughout it
all, Isaak has developed an effortless brand of stylish retro-cool, fed by his abiding
respect for popular music's past with personal heroes like Roy Orbison and Buck Owens. In
2009, Isaak hosts his new TV show The Chris Isaak Hour on the BIO Channel, and he
also released his first new studio album in seven years, Mr. Lucky. The album
shows off Isaak's stellar songwriting, smooth baritone and tender falsetto.

string of platinum-certified albums and hit singles since she debuted in 1993 with the
sensational album Tuesday Night Music Club. Her career hits include "All I

Rudolf
Budginas - Pianist in Concert  Musical
Prodigy Rudolf Budginas debuted with the Lithuanian National Symphony at age nine, trained
at Moscow Conservatory, and promptly rose to international fame performing solo concerts.
After moving to the U.S. in 1994, he discovered his true passion: giving classical music a
broader audience appeal.
In his ingenious show You, Me & the
Piano, Budginas illustrates how classical music has influenced contemporary artists
by actually breaking down how Billy Joel might have drawn on Liszts Hungarian
Rhapsody to get Piano Man. Famous for audience and humorous asides,
Rudolf Budginas takes the audience from Claire de Lune to Rhapsody in
Blue with contagious energy and endless surprises!

An
Evening with Crosby, Stills & Nash The
music of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash is a cornerstone of rock n'
roll. This trio of legendary singer-songwriters has been actively collaborating
since 1969, and the connection they forged from day oneas artists and as
friendswas profound and unbreakable. Essential elements of our pop culture
experience, their songs including "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Marrakesh
Express" and "Wooden Ships" are just as durable, conveying emotional truths
and social consciousness in equal measure. Forty years into their creative partnership,
CSN is expanding its recorded repertoire with two new album projects.

Dance Lessons in Six Weeks
by Richard Alfieri
Lily, an aging formidable woman in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida, hires an ascerbic
dance teacher to give her lessons. The initial antagonism between the widow of a Southern
Baptist minister and Michael, her gay dance instructor, develops into profound
compatability. As they swing dance, tango, foxtrot, and cha-cha, they reveal the painful
and poignant moments of their lives. During the sixth and final lesson, Lily confesses a
closely guarded secret. As Michael shares his loyalty and compassion, we are gifted with a
story that transcends fear and mortality.
