t a couple of great music events tonight….Anyone wanna go to Redondo Beach…or hey, you may live close by…Singer/songwriter and slide guitarist Jodi Siegel performs tonight at Namaste Cafe.
Singer-songwriter variety showcase hosted by the always smiling Mary Morgan – also appearing that night Kevin Fisher and Jimi Yamagishi.
Show starts at 7:30 pm. Namaste Cafe is located at 907 Knob Hill, Redondo Beach, 90277; 310-540-4080;
Some may not know who Lucinda Williams is…and I say…Where have you been? Lucinda is an incredible songwriter, guitarist and performer who I have seen many times live.
Her style is folky rock Americana. I highly recommend her. She did get some success back in the 80’s but has managed to fly under the radar (I will never understand why) ever since.
For a mere $20.00 you can see this woman strut her stuff….and she is amazing. She has also penned many incredible songs made famous by other singers…such as Mary Chapin Carpenter who had a big hit back in the day with Lucinda’s Passionate Kisses.” Great song. Lucinda Williams was rercognized by her peers and did win her first grammy for it.
The show starts a 8:00 pm, Lucinda will play till 10:00 pm at Royce Hall (UCLA), located at 340 Rocy Drive, LA. CA 90095. There parking on site…so car pool to save some bucks. Also, another great option, is the # 1 Blue bus goes right there from Venice/Santa Monica; http://www.uclalive.org/
