CANNON BEACH — Singular

come to the Coaster Theatre
this March for two perfor-
mances, and tickets are on
sale now.

7:30 p.m. Saturday, March
18. Tickets for this show are
already sold out.
A second, intimate show
is set for 3 p.m. Sunday,
March 19, an afternoon that

vres. Only 100 seats are

Large is a musician,
actor, playwright and author
who shot to national prom-
inence in 2006 as a finalist
on the CBS show “Rock
Star: Supernova,” where
despite having been elimi-
nated in the week before the
finale, Large built a fan base
that follows her around the
world to this day.
After spending the ’90s
singing in clubs through-
out San Francisco, Large
moved to Portland to pursue
a new career as a chef, but
a last-minute cancellation
in 2002 at the Portland club
“Dante’s” turned into a
standing Wednesday night
engagement for Large and
her new band, The Balls.
It wasn’t long before
Large had a cult-like fol-
lowing in Portland and a
renewed singing career that
was about to be launched

onto the international stage.
In 2007 she starred in
Portland Center Stage’s
smash-hit production of
“Cabaret” with Wade
McCollum, and her next
endeavor, the autobiograph-
ical musical memoir “Crazy
Enough,” played to packed
houses in 2009. “Crazy
Enough” was released by
Simon and Schuster in 2012,
named Oprah’s Book of
the Week, and awarded the
2013 Oregon Book Award
for Creative Nonfiction.
She debuted with the
Oregon Symphony in 2010,
and has returned for sold
out performances each year.
Large made her debut as
guest vocalist with the band
Pink Martini in April 2011.
She continues to per-
form with the band, touring
nationally and international-
ly, and she was featured on
their album “Get Happy.”
She has also sung with
Grammy winner k.d. lang,
pianist Kirill Gerstein,
punk rocker John Doe,
singer-songwriter Rufus
Wainwright, and Rock and
Roll Hall of Famer George
Clinton.
In the fall of 2014, Large
and her band Le Bonheur
released a record designed
to capture their sublime and
subversive interpretations of
the American songbook. En-
titled simply “Le Bonheur”
and released on Pink Mar-
tini’s Heinz Records, the
recording is a collection of
tortured and titillating love
songs. Cole Porter’s “I’ve
Got You Under My Skin”
and Richard Rodgers’ “The
Lady is a Tramp” shimmy
up next to Black Sabbath’s
“N.I.B.” and Lou Reed’s
“Satellite of Love,” each
reimagined in sparkling
arrangements. Large shifts
seamlessly between French
and English during Jacques
Brel’s famous heartbreaker
“Ne me quitte pas” and adds
honeyed harmonies while
digging into the emotional
core of “Unchained Mel-
ody,” then unleashes a
brassy rendition of Porter’s
“It’s All Right With Me.”
Two original tunes penned
by Large — “A Woman’s
Heart” and “Stand up for
Me” — suspend her smoky
tones in expansive gospel
choruses.
Highlights of Large’s
2016-17 season include her
debuts with the Atlanta, Bal-
timore and BBC Symphony
Orchestras, and the Los An-
geles Chamber Orchestra, as
well as return engagements
with the National Sympho-
ny Orchestra and Detroit
Symphony Orchestra.
