Sheryl Crow, the singer-songwriter who has garnered nine
Grammy Awards and survived breast cancer, finally has a date in
Sarasota.
Her Van Wezel debut, in February, is the foundation gala centerpiece of the performing arts hall's eclectic 2012-13 season.
Single
tickets for Crow and all the other upcoming shows, which range from pop
vocalists and classical orchestras to contemporary dance companies and
Broadway blockbusters, go on sale Sept. 8.
"She's just the coolest
lady," Mary Bensel, executive producer of the Van Wezel, said of Crow.
"She's a celebrity who supports wonderful causes and we're so thrilled
to have her for our gala."
R&B singer John Legend, hip-hop artist/actress Queen Latifah and
actor John Lithgow are also among the Sarasota premieres during the Van
Wezel's 43rd season.
Glen Campbell, the singer of such classic recordings as "Rhinestone
Cowboy," "Southern Nights" and "Galveston," is scheduled to perform Nov.
4.
"It was really important for us to get him," Bensel said. "His
agent say he's doing brilliantly and that this is so good for him, to
see his fans and play his music."
