Story Songs of the 70’s
Celebrating the music of: Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot and Harry Chapin
If You Could Read My Mind, you’d hear Cats in the Cradle climb aboard the Peace Train for a night of unforgettable storytelling. Tom DiMenna leads this thoughtful tribute to Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, and Cat Stevens, channeling the spirit of the 1970s one song at a time. Backed by his talented accompanists, he moves easily between the haunting pull of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the quiet ache in Father and Son, and the soft glow of Moonshadow.
Before he was singing to sold-out rooms, Tom was calling plays as the quarterback of an Italian football team while dreaming up a movie about it on the side. Years later, he trained at Second City and turned a sketch about the ghost of Telly Savalas into an off-Broadway lounge act. Eventually, he found his way back to music, settling in Maine and bringing that same sense of character and curiosity to the stage.
DiMenna’s impressive vocal range and guitar style artfully channel all of these revered artists, and will surely satisfy their most die hard fans. Tom will also be backed with accompaniment to provide plenty of toe tapping for this very special evening. This is your chance to see what all the buzz is about. You may even be moved to sing along, or at least hum! The legends live on!
