Coming to HumCo: Harris, Murray, Poundstone, Bird, Franti, Kristofferson and more
Hey! Look at this list of famous folk you might bump into at the Wildberries juice bar in the coming year!
Yes, it’s that time of year when HSU’s CenterArts and Associated Students unveil the list of performers they’ve been able to seduce for shows behind the Redwood Curtain and, as is the case every go round, the 2017-18 season features some names that jump out and force a “wow.”
Here’s one: Bill Murray… Wow!
What’s Bill bringing? For his Dec. 4, 2017 show at the Arkley Center (a few CenterArts 2017-18 dates take place there while the Van Duzer Theatre is being renovated), Murray will be joined by cellist Jan Volger for a show called New Worlds, “a spirited evening of music and literature.” We found a video preview which you can watch below:
So there’s that. Other 2017-18 highlights include legendary songwriters Kris Kristofferson (Jan. 11, 2018) and Emmylou Harris (Oct. 11, 2017), indie folk sound magician Andrew Bird (Oct. 23, 2017), NPR-friendly humorist Paula Poundstone (Aug. 26, 2017), bass wizard Thundercat (Sept. 5, 2017) and the ever-present Michael Franti and Spearhead (Sept. 17, 2017).
