An Evening with Jimmy Webb highlights some of the 100+ recordings from the Jimmy Webb songbook as well as the music he wrote for Glenn Campbell, pulling the audience in with various accounts each night of the personal side of generational touchstones like "Up Up and Away", "MacArthur Park", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," "Galveston" and more. His songs have been recorded by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes, Art Garfunkel, Linda Ronstadt, Michael Feinstein and Judy Collins as well as bands like R.E.M.
Songwriter Jimmy Webb has had many chart topping hits, spanning a wide variety of musical genres. He received his first gold record at age 18, was the National Songwriter Hall of Fame's youngest ever inductee and the only artist ever to receive Grammy Awards for music, lyrics, and orchestration.
