Lon Milo DuQuette in Anaheim Hills March 9

The Chance Theater
will be hosting a special CD release event featuring Lon
Milo DuQuette, March 9th at 8pm. DuQuette, a prolific author
and Aleister Crowley disciple, previously recorded two
singles and an album for Epic Records before retiring to
focus on his family and the study and exploration of the
occult. His new album, "I'm Baba Lon," recorded for Ninety
Three Records, marks his return to his roots as an evocative
and entertaining folk singer.

Formerly half of the 1970's duo Charley D. & Milo, DuQuette
spent a colorful decade in Hollywood recording his own songs
for Epic Records, writing and recording with Johnny Rivers,
opening for Sammy Davis Jr. and performing with Arlo
Guthrie. In 1977, Lon took a break from turbulent tour life
and settled with his wife and son in Costa Mesa.

For the next 25 years he worked outside the music industry
and quietly pursued his passion for mysticism, particularly
the work of controversial English occultist Aleister Crowley
(1875-1947). DuQuette began writing professionally in 1988
and has since published 16 books (translated in 12
languages). Mr. DuQuette lectures worldwide on Western
Hermeticism and related topics and is the current United
States Deputy Grand Master of Ordo Templis Orientis.

In 2005 a Canadian documentary crew cajoled him into
performing a few of his old songs for broadcast. Two
self-recorded CDs and a new record contract followed and, at
63, he's back on stage with what he considers to be his best
material.

"It seems very natural to be doing this at this season of my
life," says DuQuette. "It's like living 'Act III' of a
musical comedy written by H.P. Lovecraft."

DuQuette recorded most of the new material at local studio
Nourse by Northwest over a three-month period, using a
number of prominent studio musicians, including Jason
Chesney (bass), Probyn Gregory (trumpet), Michael Starr
(violin/mandolin) and Rick Shea (pedal steel).
