Storm Large gets ‘crazy’ with Philly POPS
Awhole lotta love comes to Philadelphia as The Philly POPS presents “Storm Large: A Crazy Kind of Love” November 9-11.
A musician, actor, playwright and author, Storm Large is an unforgettable interpreter of American pop music.
Storm thundered into the spotlight as a contestant on CBS’ reality show Rock Star: Supernova, gaining herself a fanbase that follows her around the world to this day. Storm’s popularity took another leap when she joined the band Pink Martini as a guest vocalist — earning praise from The New York Times as “sensational.”
In “A Crazy Kind of Love,” Storm will perform with the 65-piece Philly POPS orchestra—Philly’s biggest rock ‘n roll band. Picking up right where the POPS left off last season, this POPS Rocks show features an explosive first half, filled with towering arrangements of classic rock hits, including a Beatles medley and an audience-picked rock overture from Classic Rock 102.9 WMGK. In the second half, Storm will light the stage on fire with her sizzling takes on rock classics. Audiences will hear hits from Led Zeppelin, Elton John, George Michael and more. No matter the song, Storm puts her unique stamp on the classics.
All guests are welcome to arrive 90 minutes prior to each concert for free pre-concert entertainment, including a conversation led by CBS Radio Philadelphia’s RJ McKay and festive music in the Plaza in the Kimmel Center lobby. The preconcert entertainment will include performances by Girls Rock Philly. Given Storm’s affinity for animals, the POPS has partnered with Morris Animal Refuge for these performances. Morris Animal Refuge will be at the Kimmel to raise awareness for animal adoption.
Tickets are $35-$153 and available at www.phillypops.org/stormlarge
