The concert will be presented on Saturday, December 3, at Old School Square Pavilion, which is located on the center grounds of the Old School Square campus at 51 N. Swinton Avenue. December 3 at 7 pm (Saturday) Carols by Candlelight with Little River Band, Stephen Bishop & Kim Carnes Carols by Candlelight (http://www.carolsbycandlelight.com/) Celebrating the holiday season in Carols by Candlelight at Old School Square Pavilion in Delray Beach will be: + Little River Band (http://www.littleriverband.com/ + Stephen Bishop (http://stephenbishop.com/ Stephen was nominated for two Grammy's and awarded an Oscar nomination for his song, Separate Lives. His newest album entitled, Be Here Then is to be released in January 2014. In Eric Clapton's autobiography, he mentions Stephen as one of his favorite songwriters. While she first came to the attention of many through her 1981 history-making rendition of the Jackie DeShannon-Donna Weiss-penned Bette Davis Eyes – Billboard's No. 1 hit of that year and still one of the Hot 100's biggest chart hits of all time – the Grammy-winning tune is just another remarkable facet of a global recording, performing and songwriting career that has now spanned five decades. There's also the plethora of songs she has written for herself and others. Marked by Carnes' innate ability to fuse heart-piercing lyrics to indelible melodies, her songs have distinguished the artist's own platinum-selling albums as well as those of her many peers. And then there is that unmistakable voice. Like a mysterious beehive, it buzzes and rasps, crackling with kinetic energy, the treasure of sweet, natural honey stored within, just waiting to be savored. As respected Nashville music journalist Peter Cooper has noted, "Carnes' voice is a delight: Sorghum and whiskey and a howl of the heart, with phrasing that recalls Blonde on Blonde-era Dylan." "I write what I love and have always done that," she says today. "I'm so lucky to be writing and performing with some of the best writers in the world. I'm having a blast." "No question about the voice: it's worn, aged, soulful, defiant, utterly lacking smooth edges - an enormously compelling instrument to anyone enamored of blue-eyed soul" – David McGee, Rolling Stone Originally from New Orleans, Greg Barnhill (http://www.gregbarnhill.com/) Location: Old School Square Pavilion Tickets: $15 (adult); $5 (student); $100 (VIP – includes reserved seating area, complimentary beer, wine and light bites; exclusive cash bar; and a Meet & Greet with the artists) Note: VIP seating is provided.
