This is going to be a special night
@ Genghis Cohen!
740 N. Fairfax Ave.
Show time is 8:30 sharp for me.
$8 cover.
And I just found out that my old friend Chris Pierce is playing after me @ 9:30.
So it will truly be a magical night of friends and good music. Oh, and check the Facebook page out for three flavors of flyers. And to help spread the word, please RSVP on FB, too.
I’m happy to share the stage again with one of the funniest guys I know, J. Keith van Straaten, in this hilarious show that he and Nicole Criona have created. 4 writers, 4 improvisors, 1 musician. Check out more here: writermonkeys.com.
I’m thrilled to be contributing my voice to this tribute! The program is called Kenny Burrell, 80 Years Young. He’s a hero and great friend. BB King, Lalo Schifrin, Dee Dee Bridgewater and more will celebrate the great guitarist and composer’s music. Don’t miss it!
Go to UCLA Live for more detail.
This will be a treat, with organic vegan cuisine provided by Real Food Daily and drinks by the Raw Bar. That alone is worth the $30, but the opportunity to experience a concert in a beautiful home by the ocean in Santa Monica is pretty priceless. 5-7pm this coming Sunday.
All are invited! Please RSVP to get directions.
