The GOV – Wednesday 28 April 2021
Warren Zevon is the songwriter’s songwriter. Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen have covered his songs. Linda Ronstadt had massive hits with Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me and Carmelita. Jackson Browne was his producer. He called David Letterman his greatest champion. His visible hits Werewolves of London and Lawyers, Guns & Money and Excitable Boy barely scratched the surface of the lyric genius found on his albums.
A turbulent, erratic relationship with loved
ones, supporters and the music industry in general, fuelled by alcohol and
drugs extravagance, no doubt contributed to him becoming a cult figure rather
than a major star. His songs captured the dark, colourful eccentricities and
extremes of Los Angeles, his life and early death. His great passion was
literature and the crime writers of the day and he was their favourite
songwriter.
Zevon – Accidentally Like A Martyr allows
master craftsman of the stage and multi-media star, Henry Wagons,
the opportunity to explore and interpret some of rock’s greatest lyrics. Lachlan
Bryan also lends his talents and serves as Musical Director for the
show.
