Bodie House Music at the Thousand Oaks Library
A collaboration between Renee Bodie and Library Director Steve Brogden. Renee Bodie has been presenting house concerts in her home for many years, developing over the years personal relationships with many of the country's top acoustic artists. After attending one of those concerts, Steve contacted Renee and asked if the basic concept could work in a larger setting, perhaps a library setting. She was enthusiastic and the concert series began in April 2008. Renee's contacts in the singer-song-writer world have allowed the Thousand Oaks Library to be able to present to the community some of the most talented and prolific acoutistic artists performing today.

Saturday, February 13, 8 p.m. - Jimmy LaFave
To be held at the Thousand Oaks Library, 8pm
 Jimmy LaFave was born in Wills Point, Texas, a small town 30 miles east of Dallas. He attended high school in Stillwater, Oklahoma and moved to Austin in 1986. In 1988 he recorded his self produced tape, Highway Angels...Full Moon Rain, which won the Austin Chronicle Reader's Poll Tape of the Year Award. In 1992 Jimmy released a self-produced CD, Austin Skyline, which drew international attention to his songwriting and vocal talents, and led to a publishing agreement with Polygram Music. Due to his growing popularity and radio play on more than 200 stations, Austin Skyline and its label, Bohemia Beat, received national distribution through the Rounder Record Group. His second album, Highway Trance was released in 1994 followed by his third CD, Buffalo Return to the Plains, in 1995. In 2001 Jimmy released Texoma. The CD received some of the best press of his career, including reviews by the AP, VH-1, Billboard and Playboy. Jimmy serves on the Advisory Board for the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, and has played it 12 straight years.

 Hold on to your seats as Teresa Tudury takes you on a musical journey of wild and powerful songs and stories from the depths of her incredibly rich and inspiring repertoire. Teresa Tudury is an absolute original. With a deep, sultry voice that magnetizes audiences, and a scathing comedic wit to match, Teresa is a consummate performer who pours out her original songs with power, verve, passion, and disarming humor. Our world is richer with such a rare talent in our midst. Throughout her career, Teresa has recorded or performed with such greats as Leonard Cohen, Rickie Lee Jones, Lyle Lovett, Taj Mahal, Leo Kottke, Charlie Musselwhite and Bonnie Bramlett.
 The Backboners is a wild quartet that picks up where the Mamas and the Papas left off--delivering soaring, complex vocal arrangements of astounding originals and compelling classics. Songwriter and guitarist Bill Burnett is joined by bodacious vocalists Suzy Williams and Ginger Smith and pianist-vibrophonist-percussionist-bassist and singer Kahlil Sabbagh to bring an ecstatic eclectic repertoire that soothes the soul while it knocks your socks off. Pop, rock, folk, comedy and old time styles come at you without warning. You'll laugh, cry, and rediscover why you ever fell in love with music in the first place. This is one act you definitely have to see--and hear--to believe.
