“For the last fifty years, there has not been a more consistently excellent blues performer than Robert Cray. As the five-time Grammy Award-winner (and 16-time nominee)…The Blues Hall of Famer has had a star-studded career. He has played with all the greats, from Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, and Junior Wells to Tina Turner, the Vaughan Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, and The Rolling Stones. He appeared as the uncredited bass player in Animal House. He starred at the Crossroads Festival. He played on three John Lee Hooker albums. He even played in Keith Richards’ star-studded house band behind Chuck Berry in the 1987 documentary Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n Roll,” (Blues Blast Magazine).

Paula Poundstone
Live @ The Englert

Friday, April 24th @ 7:30 PM

“On stage, Poundstone is known for her casual style, smart, observational humor, and a razor sharp spontaneous wit that has become the stuff of legend. Garrison Keillor described her as ‘the bravest and best improv comic of our time,’” (NPR).

Paula has starred in several HBO specials, including Cats, Cops and Stuff, which nabbed a cable ACE award for Best Comedy Special. She was the first female comic to host the White House Correspondents Dinner. She filed live coverage of the 1992 Democratic and Republican National Conventions and the Presidential Inaugural for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and at the 93^rd Emmy Awards. Paula has starred in two television series, both entitled The Paula Poundstone Show. Paula’s second book, The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness, was one of eight semi-finalists for the Thurber Prize For American Humor; the audiobook was one of five finalists for the AUDIE award for Audiobook of the Year. Paula has released five albums and is featured in several documentaries and compendiums noting influential comedians of our time.
