$Harry Chapin\/Cat Stevens\/Gordon Lightfoot \u2013 Story Songs of the \u201970s 11\/15\/25 SAT 1:30PM$

If You Could Read My Mind, you’d hear Cats in the Cradle climb aboard the Peace Train for a night of unforgettable storytelling. Tom DiMenna leads this thoughtful tribute to Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, and Cat Stevens, channeling the spirit of the 1970s one song at a time. Backed by Eddie Holm on bass and Frank Fotusky on guitar, he moves easily between the haunting pull of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the quiet ache in Father and Son, and the soft glow of Moonshadow.
Before he was singing to sold-out rooms, Tom was calling plays as the quarterback of an Italian football team while dreaming up a movie about it on the side. Years later, he trained at Second City and turned a sketch about the ghost of Telly Savalas into an off-Broadway lounge act. Eventually, he found his way back to music, settling in Maine and bringing that same sense of character and curiosity to the stage.
He’s not trying to imitate anyone. He’s telling stories. And in songs like Wild World, Circle, and Rainy Day People, he finds new ways to make them feel personal, immediate, and alive.
