Get ready to let the tunes of Harold Arlen wash over you like a warm, nostalgic blanket. This guy gave us classics like Stormy Weather, Ol' Black Magic, and that little ditty known as Somewhere over the Rainbow, which, fun fact, is the most recorded song in history—take that, karaoke nights. His tunes are practically woven into the fabric of our lives, yet the man behind them has stayed as elusive as a cat in a game of hide and seek.

Join acclaimed artist Johanna Allen for an entertaining journey through the life of Arlen, peppered with his iconic hits and a few sneaky anecdotes about the famous voices he championed, including Ethel Waters, Ella Fitzgerald, and Judy Garland. It's a musically enriched escapade that promises both toe-tapping and a few chuckles along the way. So, mark your calendars because this isn't just another Sunday—it's a chance to experience the hidden stories and soaring melodies that shaped the American songbook.
