An Evening with Legendary Singer Songwriter Karla Bonoff with Dan Navarro
“Before Alanis and Jewel, there was a breed of singer/songwriters whose earthly anthems of soul-searching, heartache and joy touched souls in a way few can muster today. Karla stands as a testament to the ideal that the good ones are indeed ageless.” - Billboard

FEATURED ARTISTS:

Two years ago, we had scheduled Karla Bonoff and David Lindley to share the stage. When David fell ill, Dan Navarro stepped in—and what unfolded was pure magic. The chemistry between Karla and Dan was undeniable, creating one of the most talked-about and requested performances we’ve presented.
Now, we’re thrilled to bring that extraordinary musical connection back to our stage. Join us for an unforgettable evening of heartfelt melodies and timeless storytelling with Karla Bonoff—one of the most revered voices in American songwriting—and GRAMMY®-nominated songwriter and performer Dan Navarro. It’s a night you won’t want to miss.
KARLA BONOFF
Iconic GRAMMY® Winning Singer-Songwriter • Voice of a Generation: With a voice as tender as her lyrics are timeless, Karla Bonoff has written and performed some of the most enduring songs in American music - “All My Life” (a GRAMMY®-winning duet for Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville), “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me”, and “Lose Again” both made famous by Linda Ronstadt, “Home” released by Bonnie Raitt, and Wynonna Judd’s “Tell Me Why”, are just a few of Karla’s iconic songs recorded by legends.
A founding member of the groundbreaking band Bryndle, and a key figure in the Southern California singer-songwriter scene alongside Jackson Browne and James Taylor, Karla’s music helped define a generation—and continues to resonate with fans around the world.
Whether you’re rediscovering the heartfelt beauty of her ‘70s solo classics or hearing her stunning live interpretations for the first time, Karla Bonoff’s performances are intimate, moving, and unforgettable. From her early days at the Troubadour to sold-out shows across the U.S. and Japan, Karla’s songs have become soundtracks to love, loss, and longing. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience one of the great voices of the American folk-rock tradition—live in concert.

DAN NAVARRO
GRAMMY®-Nominated Songwriter • Soulful Storyteller • Voice of a Generation: From co-writing the GRAMMY®-nominated classic “We Belong” recorded by Pat Benatar, to lending his voice to Encanto, Coco, and Family Guy, to writing songs for The Bangles, Dionne Warwick, The Temptations, Dave Edmunds, and more, Dan Navarro has done it all—and done it with heart.
Before launching his acclaimed solo career, Dan Navarro rose to fame as half of the beloved acoustic duo Lowen & Navarro for 20+ years, before launching his solo career. In August 2022, he reunited with GRAMMY® winning producer Jim Scott to completed his newest album, Horizon Line. Dan has had an eclectic 40+ year career as a songwriter, recording and touring artist, session singer and voice actor spread over 17 acclaimed albums, thousands of concerts, singing and voice acting in films like Oscar-winners Encanto, Coco and Happy Feet, The Book of Life and Pirates of the Caribbean, and he has been in TV series, hit games, and hundreds of commercials in Spanish and English. Dan insists that art is food, music is love, and sleep is for babies.
