The Songbook of Carly Simon, Bonnie Raitt & Rosanne Cash
The Voices Who Shaped Our Sound
Before “singer-songwriter” became a genre, Carly Simon, Bonnie Raitt, and Rosanne Cash were already redefining what popular music could express — creating songs that were fearless, literate, vulnerable, emotionally complex, and unmistakably personal. For Dennis Curley and James A. Rocco, their music became more than a soundtrack — it became a lasting artistic influence, shaping not only what they sing, but how they approach storytelling, vulnerability, and connection with an audience. Featuring classics such as “You’re So Vain,” “Nick of Time,” “Haven’t Got Time for the Pain,” “Angel From Montgomery,” “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” “Seven Year Ache,” and many more, this evening is both a tribute and a thank-you to artists whose work continues to resonate far beyond the moment it was written. The Songbook of Carly Simon, Bonnie Raitt & Rosanne Cash celebrates three extraordinary artists who helped transform the American songbook by telling the truth out loud. Intimate seating — limited availability.
