Former Animal Logic singer to perform, with side of political satire

Chester — Los Angeles singer-songwriter Deborah Holland will return to Bodles Opera House for a performance on Saturday, April 28. She will share her performance with political satirists Modern Man (David Buskin, Rob Carlson and George Wurzbach). Holland was originally known for her work, from 1989-1991, with the critically acclaimed trio Animal Logic, which included band members Stewart Copeland, the drummer from The Police; and jazz bass legend Stanley Clarke. Animal Logic released two albums, appeared on “The Tonight Show” and “The Late Show with David Letterman,” MTV, and VH-1. Holland has gone on to release four solo albums and has made a name for herself in the contemporary folk world beginning in 1997, with her own take on 1930s songs, “The Panic Is On: Songs from the Great Depression.” Her newest release, “Bad Girl Once...” is being played on over 200 radio stations nationally and internationally. She is also a professor of music at California State University, Los Angeles, and writes music for film and television. The Orange County Weekly likens her “style and delivery [to a] female Loudon Wainwright III.” “Sing Out!” columnist Michael Tearson wrote, “‘Bad Girl Once...’ is a piquant blend of wit both sharp and knowing, keen observation and fine musicianship.” Sonny Ochs, a DJ on WRPI and a concert promoter, wrote of “Bad Girl Once...”: “Wow! You’ve come up with a real winner! I marked several songs for airplay. It’s such an upbeat CD — so rare these days!” Bodles Opera House is located at 39 Main St. in Chester. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for dinner. The show begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $17.50. For more information, call Bodles at 469-4595 or log on to Holland’s Web site at www.deborahholland.net.
