Reliving Laurel Canyon
Laurel Canyon, with Barry Thomson, Dawn Selby and Jason Andrew, will feature hits from 60s California.
RHUMBELOW Theatre presents Laurel Canyon, The Reals Minus One, featuring Barry Thomson, Dawn Selby and Jason Andrew, from Friday 4 December to Sunday 6 December, Friday 11 December to Sunday 13 December and Friday 18 December to Sunday 20 December.
Laurel Canyon wasn’t much to look at – a few modest bungalows and log cabins crammed between an occasional faded mansion that had been left over from the days when it was a secluded, semi-rural retreat for Hollywood’s silent-movie stars. And yet from the quiet of the densely wooded canyon came a music revolution that would change popular culture.
Laurel Canyon is one of rock’s most mythic neighbourhoods. This is where Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young first folded their voices into one beautiful harmony and where Zappa welcomed artists including Hendrix and Mick Jagger to parties at his infamous ‘Log Cabin’ in 1968. It’s where music-business legends David Geffen, Jac Holtzman and Elliot Roberts helped build the recording careers of the singer-songwriters who defined the very essence of the 60s California sound.
The show features top hits from artists including Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Mamas and the Papas, The Byrds, The Eagles, Carole King and Bonnie Raitt.
