| Kenny Loggins Comes To McCallum Theatre The 10th Anniversary season of Fitz's Jazz Cafe series at the McCallum Theatre continues with Kenny Loggins, one of America's most celebrated singers and songwriters. There are certain voices in popular music that can be identified as soon as a song starts. Singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins possesses such a voice, and, for over three decades it's been inviting listeners to experience music that reaches the heart with disarming candor, authentic emotion and rich lyrical and melodic resonance. From Loggins & Messina classics like "Danny's Song" and "Vahevala, " to signature solo tracks including "Celebrate Me Home" and the Grammy-winning "This Is It, " Kenny's expansive body of work speaks volumes with its warmth and directness. Kenny also found success as a movie theme composer in the '80s and '90s, with massive hits including "I'm Alright" (Caddyshack), "Danger Zone" (Top Gun), "Nobody's Fool" (Caddyshack II), and the Oscar-nominated "Footloose" (Footloose) and "For The First Time" (One Fine Day). Parallel to that, Kenny continued to release expressive, thought-provoking albums including Vox Humana, Back to Avalon, The Unimaginable Life, and It's About Time. His Christmas album, December, has become a contemporary holiday classic, and he also released two beloved albums for children of all ages, Return To Pooh Corner and More Songs From Pooh Corner. On his latest album, How About Now, Kenny comes home to the soulful, roots-centric singer-songwriter tradition that first made him a household name. How About Now includes a beautiful reworking of the 1973 Kenny-penned Loggins & Messina ballad "A Love Song, " the album's only previously recorded track. Kenny's latest release is a soundtrack through which to enjoy the ongoing flow of life with loved ones of all ages. As expressed by one of contemporary music's most emotionally perceptive singer-songwriters, it's an experience to be celebrated on any, and every, occasion. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Jazz News :: home page |
