"An Evening with Jeff Daniels" (acclaimed actor is also a singer) - LMC Mainstage concert this month

from LMC (Lake Michigan College . edu publicity about Mendel Center stage event):

Many know actor Jeff Daniels as the valiant colonel in “Gettysburg,” the hilariously dim-witted sidekick in “Dumb and Dumber” and the terrified but ultimately heroic father in “Arachnophobia.” But, what many might not know about Daniels is that he’s also an accomplished musician with some 400 songs to his credit.

The Michigan native will bring his acoustic guitars, narrative songs and folksy humor to the Lake Michigan College Mendel Center Mainstage at Lake Michigan College at 7 p.m. Sunday, September 19. The show, titled An Evening with Jeff Daniels, follows the release of three successful recording albums by the singer-songwriter and a sold-out tour of the Midwest and beyond.
Fans will appreciate that Daniels’ personality on stage is no different from the one that won them over on the screen. He’s affable, down-to-earth and whip-smart, and he uses his laid-back charm to great effect. As one critic recently put it, “Daniels’ regular-guy attitude and homespun delivery always hit the mark. … And he knows how to write an entertaining song.”
Daniels describes the hundreds of songs he’s composed over the past three decades as his “diaries,” and they range from silly and lighthearted to serious and contemplative. True to his roots, Daniels has made life in Michigan a focus of his music. Whether it’s his tongue-in-cheek “Michigan Water Blues,” “The Ballard of the Buckless Yooper,” or his mock baseball team tribute “The Lifelong Tiger Blues, Revisted,” Daniels will have natives of our Mitten State nodding and laughing along.
Daniels remains a full-time resident of the town in which he was raised, Chelsea, Michigan. In 1979, he married his high school sweetheart, and they have raised three children in the small town. A passion in recent years has been supporting and promoting Purple Rose, the small theater company he founded in Chelsea. Daniels’ music show began as a one-time fundraiser for the theater group, but quickly expanded because of audience demand.
An actor of great range and versatility, Daniels has played leading men, villains, tragic figures and – quite memorably – idiots. He was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actor for the Broadway play “God of Carnage” in 2009, and he has received three Golden Globe Award nominations.
