Hugh Laurie with the Copper Bottom Band

The celebrated scruffy-faced English comedian and actor is best known in the USA for his portrayal of the irascible title character of House (and for his impossibly perfect American accent). However, those are the only the beginning of Hugh Laurie's talents, and he hits the Fonda Theatre with the Copper Bottom Band to show us the rest. Expect righteously rootsy jazz and blues balladry, as heard on Laurie's most recent LP, Didn't It Rain.
