Flagpole Radio Café announced a return to the stage at Edmond Town Hall this holiday season.

Announced this week, the local variety show that brings together The Flagpole Radio Café Orchestra and the witty performers of The Flagpole Shakespeare Repertory Theatre for an evening that’s as smart as it is fun will offer a holiday show Saturday, December 6, at 7 pm.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Patty Larkin will join as the evening’s special guest, bringing her soulful voice and poetic storytelling to the café’s signature blend of clever comedy, live music, and old-school radio flair.

Larkin is a visionary singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music blends poetic lyricism, soulful vocals, and dazzling musicianship. Described as “riveting” (Chicago Tribune), “hypnotic” (Entertainment Weekly), and “drop-dead brilliant” (Performing Songwriter), Larkin has captivated audiences for over three decades with her inventive sound and emotional depth.

With 14 albums to her credit, including her most recent release Bird in a Cage (Road Narrows Records), Larkin transforms the words of celebrated poets — such as Billy Collins, Robert Pinsky, and Kay Ryan — into luminous songs that bridge the worlds of poetry and music. A recipient of 11 Boston Music Awards and an Honorary Doctorate from Berklee College of Music, she has collaborated with artists including Rosanne Cash, Suzanne Vega, and Mary Chapin Carpenter, and her songs have appeared in films like Sliding Doors and Random Hearts.

Raised in the Midwest and based on Cape Cod, Larkin continues to redefine the boundaries of the guitar-driven singer-songwriter with her imagination, technical mastery, and soul-stirring artistry. Her performance next month marks a return to the Edmond Town Hall stage, having been the guest performer with Flagpole Radio Café’s December 2011 holiday-themed show.

Tickets for December 6 are $45 each, general admission, and available through edmondtownhall.org.

Concessions will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
