Jimmy Webb Live in Concert at One World Theatre

Though some might still not know his name, they know the songs: ‘Wichita Lineman,’ ‘By The Time I Get To Phoenix,’ ‘Galveston,’ ‘The Moon’s A Harsh Mistress,’ ‘All I Know,’ ‘The Highwayman,’ ‘Up, Up and Away,’ ‘MacArthur Park,’ and those are just the famous ones. Webb is one of those rare songwriters who manages to bring a genuine measure of magic to everything he touches. In 2016, Rolling Stone Magazine named him one of the top 50 songwriters of all time. Webb’s songs have been recorded by Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes, Art Garfunkel, Linda Ronstadt, and Judy Collins, as well as bands like R.E.M.

‘Mr. Webb is a superb natural melodist whose best songs often combine the tuneful directness of country music with the unabashedly romantic harmonic palette of classic Hollywood film scores.’ – The New York Times
