Natasha Bedingfield

Friday, July 25, 8 p.m.

Natasha Bedingfield is the UK’s biggest female pop star bar none—a bold, beautiful British answer to U.S. super-divas Christina Aguilera and Pink. Her first disc, Unwritten, flew to the top of the UK charts in 2004, and the disc’s title track became the most-played song on mainstream American radio in 2006. Bedingfield’s second album, Pocketful of Sunshine, continues to prove that affairs of the heart, although difficult, make for excellent song-writing material.

Zappa Plays Zappa

Monday, July 28, 8 p.m.

Son of Frank Zappa and a heavy metal disciple of Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa released his first album, Havin’ a Bad Day, in 1986. He worked a stint as a VJ on MTV, appeared in the films Pretty in Pink and The Running Man, and had a brief sojourn in TV situation comedy with his sister Moon Unit, on 1988-1989’s Normal Life. Dweezil leads the concert tour and band Zappa Plays Zappa, devoted to performing a collection of Zappa Sr’s rock-oriented compositions from the 1960s to 1980s.
