Singer-songwriter Tom Cordle returns to the Dogwood Center on Saturday, August 14 at 7:30 p.m. to offer up an evening of original music that is both entertaining and enlightening! 
Cordle’s performance, “Self-Portrait: A Musical Memoir”, confirms John Lennon’s quip that “life is what happens while you’re making other plans”.
Tom is a gifted storyteller, as his cleverly crafted songs and witty stage patter make plain. But, he also has the rare ability to laugh out loud at his own foibles.
Typical of his self-deprecating humor, he calls himself a pragmatic romantic, and that is certainly reflected in his songs. They are sometimes bittersweet – but they are never bitter.
Though drawn from his own life, this personal reflection is sure to stir up memories for an audience that answers the question “Are you experienced?” with a resounding “Yes!”. In short, the evening is sure to be a “Boomer’s delight”!
Musicians accompanying Tom will be Nathan Syfrig on violin and piano, Luke Gitchell on guitar and mandolin, and Dave VanderHooning on bass.
Tickets: $10. Black Box. 7:30 p.m.
