KEVIN JAMES



An everyman comic, Kevin James is widely known for playing the amiable deliveryman Doug Heffernan on the CBS sitcom The King of Queens. Finding a second home onscreen in films expanded his persona into highly visible comedies including Hitch, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Here Comes the Boom.

·                    Tickets start at $25.



·                    



May 24 – 8 p.m.  (Friday)



STEVE MARTIN



And The Steep Canyon Rangers



Featuring Edie Brickell



In the 1970s, Steve Martin used a banjo as a prop in his stand-up act. These days, he’s returned to his musical passion – bluegrass – as a banjo player and Grammy® Award-winning bluegrass songwriter with his bluegrass band The Steep Canyon Rangers. The show includes traditional foot-stomping bluegrass classics, newer bluegrass offerings and, of course, lots and lots of Martin’s repartee and classic humor.







Appearing with Martin is singer/songwriter Edie Brickell, with whom he collaborated on his latest CD, Love Has Come For You. Texas native Brickell first burst onto the national music scene in the late 1980’s as lead singer of the New Bohemians. On their new album, Martin composed the banjo melodies and Brickell wrote the lyrics, and they both sing along.



Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall
