About the show

Overlooking the hustle and bustle of LA’s Sunset Strip, Laurel Canyon became the beating heart of a musical revolution during the 1960s and 70s – a secluded hillside community where songwriting giants gathered, collaborated and shaped the sound of a generation.

This iconic enclave was home to some of the most influential artists in music history, including James Taylor, The Byrds, America, Eagles, The Doors, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, CSNY and Joni Mitchell.

Now brought to life by a powerful live six-piece band with vocals, the first half of the concert celebrates the spirit of Laurel Canyon through the unforgettable songs from these legendary artists and many others who defined the era.

In the second half, the show dives deeper into the music that made history, performing Carole King’s 1971 masterpiece ‘Tapestry’ in its entirety. Of all the albums released at this time in the Laurel Canyon community, Tapestry, arguably, sums up this counterculture best. It is a statement of togetherness, love in all its forms, feminism, and endless hope for the future.

An experience dedicated to a golden age of songwriting – raw, intimate and timeless.
