August 8 Joan Armatrading Singer/songwriter Joan Armatrading will be performing new music from her latest CD, This Charming Life, at The House of Blues at 7:30 pm. Her latest collection of songs finds the multi-faceted performer returning to more of a rock/pop format. However, since she has 18 other albums under her belt, it’s a safe bet that she will pull out chestnuts, such as the 1983 tune “Drop The Pilot.” To purchase tickets, log onto

BURT BACHARACH Burt Bacharach has written 70 Top 40 songs during his illustrious career with many of them being sung by Dionne Warwick, which he will highlight during his appearance at The Summer Pops series. He and his trio of singers will perform such standards as: “Walk On By,” “Say A Little Prayer,” and “That’s What Friends Are For.” These tunes are a testament to why many consider Bacharach to be one of the most important composers of pop music in the 20th century.

August 22 Cyndi Lauper When Cyndi Lauper burst onto the music scene in 1983, two things became evident about this one-of-a-kind pop star through her music. One was that she lyrically divulged that “Girls Just Want To Have Fun,” and the second was that She’s So Unusual, according to her album title. Now the versatile musician has branched into Southern territory with Mem- phis Blues that has her giving her unique take on the Blues. Lauper will appear with noted guitarist David Rhodes for her House of Blues gig. For ticket info, visit
