Pioneering a brand of performance art that blends alternative cabaret, pop,surrealism, and social satire, Ann Magnuson presents a multi-media concert of song and spoken word featuring selections from her album Pretty Songs & Ugly Stories. The Los Angeles Times says, "Ann Magnuson wears irony well. She makes it sparkle and shimmer-seductively, seditiously." Accompanied by her producer and musical collaborator Kristian Hoffman on grand piano, and featuring Joe Berardi (percussion), Jonathan Lea (guitar), and Alexander Rannie (harp), with video designed by Matthew Amato.
