Janet Klein and her Parlor Boys will perform for Smiley LIVE!

The A.K. Smiley Public Library welcomes Janet Klein and her Parlor Boys to the Contemporary Club beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 16, part of the Smiley LIVE! concert series. The Contemporary Club is located at 173 S. Eureka St.

Klein is an entertainer, band leader, musical archaeologist and treasure hunter on a more than 30-year search for rare songs from the 1910s through 1930s, digging up compositions by the likes of Wilton Crawley, A.P. Randolf, and Robert Cloud, songs of the Victrola, Vaudeville, Vitaphone films and early sound musical feature films.  With her Los Angeles-based band The Parlor Boys, she perform this material with passion, skill, and authenticity. 

Klein is also known for her voiceover work as the animated character Miss Langtree for CartoonNetwork’s “Over The Garden Wall” and for her vintage style graphic work in print, drawing inspiration from her and husband Robert Loveless’ collection of late 19^th and early 20^th century print and photographic matter.

This free, family-friendly event includes a Q&A segment with the performers. For questions or more information call (909) 798-7565.
