Celebrated vocalist coming to Kirkland

A vocalist, playwright, actor, and author promises a night of fun during the holidays.

The upcoming “Storm Large: Holiday Ordeal” show promises to delight audiences, love them, and abuse them in equal measure, according to the star. Holiday Ordeal comprises gifts, gags, and music with songs from “Hallelujah” to “2000 Miles,” as well as one Large calls the “greatest holiday song never written.”

Storm Large came to the public attention when she was a finalist on “Rock Star: Supernova,” on CBS in 2006. She was eliminated the week preceding the finale, but her appearance on the show won her a legion of fans who still follow her everywhere she goes.

She has created an autobiographical musical, a one-woman show called “Crazy Enough,” and performed the show at Portland Center Stage, and the La Jolla Music Society. She has debuted with such renowned artists as the Seattle Symphony and the Philly Pops, and made return visits to the BBC Symphony, the Louisville Orchestra, the New York Pops, and more.

She may be best known for her appearances with the group Pink Martini, making her debut with the band in 2011, when they performed at the Kenned Center with the National Symphony Orchestra. A review says:
“. . . Storm Large had the packed house roaring with thunderous applause.”

Storm Large will be at the Kirkland Performance Center on December 19. When they plan shows like this, organizers often use poster printing to advertise them.
