Karla Bonoff, a singer-songwriter known for moody, affecting ballads with soaring melodies and soul-searching lyrics, may be best known for penning hits made famous by Bonnie Raitt ("Home"), Linda Ronstadt ("Someone To Lay Down Beside Me," "Trouble Again," "All My Life"), and Wynonna Judd ("Tell Me Why")—but Karla's fans know that nobody sings them quite like she does. Performed with her sweet, soft, powerful voice, Karla's songs seem to spill from her heart like intimate conversations.

Growing up in the fertile Los Angeles music scene of the early 1970s, Karla began writing songs at an early age. She performed with an early singer-songwriter supergroup, Bryndle, as well as releasing four solo albums. Tonight's show features selections from her recent double CD, Karla Bonoff Live, a retrospective of some of her most popular tunes.
