Song to the Siren: The Songs of Larry BeckettFriday, July 26, 8:00 PM PT
In person at Beyond Baroque & Live on YouTube
The last time Larry Beckett played a Los Angeles stage was 2018. But the lyrics of the legendary poet have been heard in the world since the mid-1960s, when he toured with Tim Buckley, his songwriting partner. Beckett’s lyrical contributions to Buckley's albums, including the songs No Man Can Find the War, Morning-Glory, and Song to the Siren, continue to resonate with new generations. Beckett has continued writing poetry and lyrics since those works with Buckley. The lyrics of those songs are now collected in a book, Song to the Siren The 90-minute performance will include interpretations by Chris Price, Willie Aron, Jon Klages, Jann Klose, Larry Beckett, and a discussion led by author/music historian Pat Thomas.
