Songwriter Jimmy Webb, who might be thought of as, well, the Jimmy Webb of songwriters, returns Friday to the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center.

If you're a fan of his work — which includes "Galveston," "Wichita Lineman," "Up, Up and Away," "MacArthur Park," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "The Highwayman," "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress," "Honey Come Back" and "All I Know" — a Webb concert is called "Goosebump Overdose."

Not only will each tune Webb sings spin you off into your own processional of memories, but he's also a gifted and funny raconteur who'll provide additional context and history to the experience.

Jimmy Webb, 8 p.m. Friday, Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, 300 Main St., Old Saybrook; $50; www.thekate.org, (860) 510-0453.
