The news of the women’s charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press descend upon the small village of Knapely in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie’s friendship is put to the test under the strain of their newfound fame. “Calendar Girls,” by Tim Firth, is based on a true story. Playing in the LCCC auditorium at 7 pm Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 19-Nov. 10. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors and students, $10 for youth ages 12 and younger.

Jamie Stillway and Ben Bonham are setting out on their “mostly annual” fall tour, and will be stopping in Lincoln City for a performance at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Wednesday, October 25th. Their eponymous debut release snagged serious accolades from all corners, and was named one of the top albums of the year by Willamette Week. “Stillway and Bonham cut through the clatter of pop music with a package that’s part Django Reinhardt and part Rev. Gary Davis, tied up with a ragtime bow. Jamie Stillway not only comps big, fat, swinging and expensive jazz chords but picks with a ferocity that would make Django proud, and her technique is commanding and artful. Ben Bonham devilishly evokes front-porch picking sessions and Hawaiian luaus with his liquid strokes but can cop a nasty swing on demand–both guitarists are supremely accomplished” –Don Campbell, The Oregonian. Tickets are $18 adv/$20 door.

Authenticity and connection is one of the primary keys to Loren’s artistic approach: whether it’s injecting the American Songbook with old-school soul or finding a familiar thread of nostalgia in newly-penned originals, no matter the language (her repertoire finds her singing in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and more), Loren finds ways to bridge cultures and genres in unlikely and always heart-felt ways. “Music creates greater connection with other people, connection to my purpose for existence,” Loren says.
