Torreyville Music and Theatre

Torreyville Productions presents David Olney with Sergio Webb in concert at Three Rivers Memorial Hall January 20 and at Porterville's Barn Theater January 21. Springville songstress, Patti Torrey will open both shows. $15 admission at door. Door opens at 7:00 p.m. Showtime 7:30.

The prolific David Olney has become known worldwide for his intense live performances - as well as his intelligent compositions as recorded by Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Johnny Cash, Linda Rondstadt and Laurie Lewis, among others. By turns ferocious and tender, dry-witted and dead serious, with a foot placed in Townes Van Zandt and another in Hoagy Carmichael, David Olney is a showman, a spoken-word artist, a walking songbook full of characters he inhabits with zeal, and the only man who has ever written a song about the Titanic from the perspective of the iceberg.The late singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt put Olney on his short list of favorite writers, alongside Mozart, Lightnin' Hopkins and Bob Dylan - a declaration as audacious and stubborn as Van Zandt's fiercely personal tunes.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. with show times at 7:30 and admission at the door. For more information call Janice at 559-789-5317 or email janice.torrey@hotmail.com.
