Colin Hay
The Sun Valley Center for the Arts presents: Colin Hay at the Sun Valley Opera House on Sunday, September 18 at 7pm. Tickets available only through the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.
You may know the name, you likely know the voice, but you have not seen a show like the troubadour-style solo performance by Scottish-born, Australian-raised, California-dwelling, Men at Work frontman, Colin Hay. He’ll bring a guitar and his distinctive voice to Sun Valley and will intersperse his classic and new songs with hilarious, poignant, and downright surreal stories drawn from his often unbelievable experiences over the past three decades. Please note: Colin Hay’s shows contain adult language and material that may not be suitable for all ages or audience members.
“Hay’s charm and reputation as a raconteur on stage also endear him to audiences.” The Age – theage.com.au

Raul Midón performs his heady fusion of old-school soul, Latin jazz and folk-pop in the Sun Valley Opera House Friday, December 3 at 6:30pm. Tickets are $20 for members and $30 for non-members on sale now only at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. www.sunvalleycenter.org
New York based vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Raul Midón has always experienced the world differently than most. Born prematurely in a rural hospital in Mexico, he and his twin brother, Marco, were accidentally blinded as infants after spending time in an incubator without eye protection. Midón followed a musical path inspired by his father, a professional Argentine folkloric dancer. Midón studied jazz at the University of Miami and after graduating became a backup singer, working primarily in the Latin-pop world for such artists as Julio and Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Ricky Martin and Alejandro Sanz. In 2002, Midón walked away from his lucrative work as a back-up singer to pursue a career as a solo artist. Since striking out on his own Midón has produced three solo albums and received accolades for his music’s heady fusion of old-school soul, Latin, jazz and timeless singer/songwriter folk-pop.
Singer/Songwriter Crystal Monee Hall grew up singing in the church choir and went on to perform with Disney Entertainment and as a soloist in the Tony Award winning musical “Rent.”

The Sun Valley Center for the Arts Presents:
Sir Salman Rushdie
Friday September 10, 2010 at 7pm (rescheduled from original February 11, 2010 date)
Sun Valley Pavilion
$30 / $40 nonmembers
Tickets are ONLY available through the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.
Raised in India and Pakistan and educated in England, Sir Salman Rushdie is one of the most celebrated and controversial authors and critics of our time. His novel The Satanic Verses provoked a fatwa (religious edict) by Ayatollah Khomeini calling for his death, as a result of which he spent nearly a decade “underground,” seldom appearing in public. A leading proponent for free speech, Rushdie was knighted by the British government in 2007.
Tickets are ONLY available through the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.

The Sun Valley Center for the Arts Presents:
The Campbell Brothers
Saturday, December 12 at 7:30pm
Sun Valley Opera House
$20 / $30 nonmembers
The Campbell Brothers present “Sacred Steel”: African American gospel music with electric steel guitar accompanying the vocals. This tradition is just now emerging from the House of God Keith Dominion Church, where for sixty years it has been an integral part of worship. As the music moves from sanctuary to concert hall-the group has appeared at the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center and the Brooklyn Academy of Music-secular audiences are able to appreciate a performance both devotional and rocking. The Campbell Brothers present a rich variety of material from the African American Holiness-Pentecostal repertoire with a new twist: the growling, wailing, shouting, singing and swinging voice of the steel guitar, played as you have never heard it played before.
