Vibes & Stuff: Hip Hop Rodeo

Possibly your last chance to catch the one-man Prague music institution A to the K, who is due to leave town forever in short order. Joined by DJs Orion and Richard, A to the K will surely be spinning for a large turnout of friends. As the man who brought hip hop to the all-too-white club scene here in the mid-1990s, this DJ will be missed - and enjoyed all the more tonight.

Once you experience this, you will definitely want to learn How To DJ so you can get your party pumping!

Cowboy Junkies

The stealth with which Margo Timmins' voice envelopes the senses and emotions of her audience can be almost frightening, precisely because she's so humble and unassuming. The hypnotic chanteuse and her brother Michael bring their Cowboy Junkies on a 'Winter Waltz' tour back to New York to promote their eighth album, 'Rarities, B-Sides and Slow Sad Waltzes'. This album mixes up some driving folk-rock with some of the haunting etherea that made 'Caution Horses' and 'The Trinity Sessions' such compelling work. And if the audience is blessed, she'll reprise such classics as 'Misguided Angel', 'Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning' and the Cowboy Junkies' otherworldly cover of 'Sweet Jane'.

Amadeus

Opening the Ahmanson's 33rd season is Peter Shaffer's 'Amadeus'. Set in opulent eighteenth-century Vienna, the play tells the tale of composer Antonio Salieri, who is the toast of the town until a young upstart called Mozart arrives. The play and its wonderful score chronicle Salieri's love/hate relationship with Mozart, a struggle that ultimately destroys his soul and that of his rival's. Lauded on Broadway and in the West End of London, this production is sure to dazzle.
