Lavin performs anniversary concert at 6OTS
OXFORD – Saturday, Aug. 13, at 7:30 p.m., 6 On The Square (6OTS) is proud to present, and invite you to celebrate with, the award winning Christine Lavin. Her performance titled, “My 25th Anniversary Concert: What Was I (Ever.) Thinking” will include past hits and current favorites, combined with hilarious stories of people, events, near disasters and minor miracles that have defined her life and music. Her list of credits and accomplishments are as long as your arm. As is the tradition, fans and followers come to knit before the show, but that’s optional. At the show, Lavin will have you in stitches with her yarns about the reality of life as she tells it.
Singer/songwriter/guitarist/recording artist; Christine Lavin’s singing style has been compared to the Indigo Girls, Sarah McLachlin, and Tom Lehrer. She has been a major force in the contemporary music world for over two decades with 30 albums to her credit, 20 of them solo. Her latest is Cold Pizza For Breakfast on Yellow Tail Records. Christine has appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s The Today Show, and was featured on CBS’s Sunday Morning, CNN, and NPR’s Weekend Edition. She currently guest hosts Sunday Breakfast on WFUV public radio at Fordham University in NYC. Christine has won multiple music awards including five ASCAP Composer Awards and the NYC Singer/Songwriter of 2001 (Backstage Magazine).
Christine’s gentle singing voice makes her subtle, hilarious lines almost catch you off guard. She writes and sings about one-celled goings-on (“Amoeba Hop”), what she’s willing to put up with for love (“Good Thing He Can’t Read My Mind”), from bad hairdos to bad politics (“What Was I Thinking?”), the honesty of a “chrome-dome” (“Bald Headed Men”), defrosting her refrigerator and food Julia Child can’t pronounce (“Mysterious Woman”), and much more fun. As Lavin puts it, “I don’t make this stuff up, I just make it rhyme.”
Incidentally, Christine’s song lyrics have been used in two science books. “Amoeba Hop” has been turned into a children’s book by illustrator Betsy Franco Feeney. “The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America’s Favorite Planet, written by Neil deGrasse Tyson (the world famous astrophysicist and Hayden Planetarium director), included the lyrics to Christine’s song “Planet X,” which details Pluto’s history and planetary status debate in rhyme. (And Christine got a “D” in Astronomy in college.) On the subject of books, Lavin’s latest book project, “Cold Pizza For Breakfast: A Mem-Wha??” has just been published and is available in paperback, Kindle, iPad, and audio book formats.
Mix Christine’s insight, quirky wit, irreverence, and talent, and you have the formula for 25-years of song… and going strong. Her original, sometimes provocative lyrics combined with her delightful melodies make Christine Lavin a “full-service” entertainer. Purchase tickets online at the discounted price of $20 (plus $2 on-line ticket surcharge) until the date of the performance; $25 at the door.
Pre-show “Knit and Chat” at 6:30 p.m. - come spend 45 minutes knitting and chatting with Christine.
6OTS is located at 6 LaFayette Park in downtown Oxford.
