Shalin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport, MA 01966

Karla Bonoff has been described as one of the finest singer/songwriters of her generation. That description is not hyperbole. Bonoff has enjoyed critical acclaim, commercial success, enduring popularity, and the unwavering respect of her peers.
Karla has seen her&nbsp;songs become hits for Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd, and Linda Ronstadt. Many of Bonoff’s ballads are classics. Karla has continued to record and tour extensively, playing sold-out shows around the world. Hearing Karla’s moving vocals on her rich,&nbsp;expressive songs is like standing beneath a sparkling waterfall–refreshing, exhilarating, and restorative. Experiencing them live can be&nbsp;transformative. Fans and critics agree that Bonoff’s songs are timeless as are her recordings. Many prefer her versions, live with&nbsp;instrumentation that is clean and spare, giving Bonoff’s voice room to work its emotional magic.
In 2019, Karla released her first new album in over a decade,&nbsp;Carry Me Home, a 16-song set featuring brand new recordings of Karla’s&nbsp;classics along with new songs by Karla, Kenny Edwards, and a cover of a vintage Jackson Browne tune, Something Fine, which Karla&nbsp;performed on the 2015 compilation,&nbsp;Looking into You: A Tribute To Jackson Browne. In late 2020, Karla released,&nbsp;Silent Night, her first collection of Holiday music, to wide acclaim, including a prominent listing on the New York&nbsp;Times Best New Holiday Albums of the Year. In 2021 Karla added two new songs to her Holiday collection including a duet with the legendary&nbsp;Michael McDonald.
The media continues to follow and shine a spotlight on Karla’s ongoing career milestones. She was featured in the acclaimed Linda Ronstadt&nbsp;documentary:&nbsp;The Sound of My Voice, highlighting her friendship with Linda and as the writer of several of her biggest songs, including&nbsp;Grammy Winner, All My Life. Bob Lefsetz, a longtime fan, interviewed her for his popular podcast and dug deep into her history as a pioneer&nbsp;of the Southern California Singer-Songwriter scene, Trisha Yearwood’s new album includes a lovely rendition of Karla’s, Home. Mary Sue&nbsp;Toohey of The Village on Sirius/XM hosted a performance &amp; interview, and she was invited to sing on the longest-running radio program for&nbsp;acoustic music,&nbsp;Acoustic Café. As dynamic as ever in her solo shows, Karla is also available to package with various accomplished musical partners, including&nbsp;a new offering, “Home for the Holidays” with Livingston Taylor (by arrangement with Paladin Artists).<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/143284/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info
