Lobero LIVE welcomes celebrated songwriter Karla Bonoff back to the Lobero stage at 8 p.m. Aug. 18, 2016. 

Bonoff has been described as one of the finest singer-songwriters of her generation, and, in her case, the description is not exaggerated.


With a career spanning four decades, Bonoff has enjoyed critical acclaim, commercial success, enduring popularity and the unwavering respect of her peers.

In addition to her own chart success with recordings such as “Personally” and the Footloose single, “Somebody’s Eyes,” she has seen many of her ballads become pop classics, and songs such as “Tell Me Why” become hits for such stellar artists as Wynonna Judd, Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt.

“A Karla Bonoff album is like hearing from an old friend; her songs are comforting, familiar and timeless.”  — Performing Songwriter Magazine

“Her voice is perfection. She conjures memories… keeping alive the flames of her youth and dedication to other artists.”  — Huffington Post
