One of Westport's summer delights is the Levitt Pavilion where free, interesting concerts and shows are presented most summer nights. The opportunity to listen to music, see friends, gaze at the Saugatuck River, or enjoy a picnic dinner makes the Levitt a mandatory summer activity.
On Friday night, August 10, 2007, Kenny Loggins will perform at the summer gala, the major fundraising event for the Levitt Pavilion. This gifted singer-songwriter and guitarist, who successfully conveys the essence and spirit of his music, has been in the public eye for over thirty years. He not only has twelve platinum albums but has had hit songs throughout the decades. He is fondly remembered as half of the 1970's duo Loggins and Messina. With his long-time friend Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers, he shared the 1979 Grammy award for Song of The Year “What A Fool Believes”; in 1980 he won the Best Male Pop Vocal Grammy for “This Is It.” His fame grew during the 1980s with performances of movie theme songs, like "I'm Alright" (from Caddyshack), "Footloose" (from Footloose), "Danger Zone" (from Top Gun), and "Nobody's Fool" (from Caddyshack II).
If you wish to sample his music, feel free to check out the holdings of the library.
