David K as Roy Orbison

March 7 – 7:30 p.m. ($20)

David K has been performing for decades as a Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter, rocking solo piano vocal gigs, in duos, trios, bands of all sizes, classic rock, blues, pop and soul. David K sings Roy Orbison’s multi-octave range beautifully, and his band is excellent. Enjoy a charming show that shares history tidbits and the music of a true legend, Roy Orbison. Roy’s life reached the pinnacle of success, as the headliner to opening acts like The Beatles, and he also experienced tragedy, losing two sons to a house fire, and his first wife to a motorcycle accident. He was resilient and his music, faith, family and friends helped him survive. David K shares this history and with his band shares the dreamy experience of stepping back in time, to sing the longing, be-bop hits, love songs and the rockabilly of Roy Orbison. Don’t miss this show, from tunes from the early 50s like “Only The Lonely” and “Crying” to those in movies like “Pretty Woman” and “In Dreams” to the 80s hits of the Traveling Willburys with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne of ELO! David K as Roy Orbison will captivate you, so don’t miss this show!
