Local Music Nation

I hope everyone is hunkering down, staying in, and still enjoying some music. I suppose it’s somewhat comforting to know that I can see a great band live at just about any time of the day by simply going online to Facebook (FB), Instagram (IG), YouTube (YT) or Twitch (never had a reason to check out Twitch before!).  Some online highlights from my last week include performances from G-Flip, The Talbott Brothers, Sarah Harmer, and Tony Lucca playing “Canyon Songs” front to back.

Since a lot of these events seem to pop up last minute, I’ve been updating my list throughout the week at https://localmusicnation.net/category/la-concert-calendar/.  I also modified the list to make it a bit more suitable for my needs. I hope it works for you too.

This was the post that was supposed to be telling everyone about all the great sets I caught at SXSW. I tried to make a SXSW Top 10 artists list, but it was too depressing. I did listen to most all the announced showcasing artists, however, and made a Spotify playlist of the ones I wanted to check out, so if you’re looking to discover something new, here you go!

There are no concerts going on with the city of LA (and hopefully most of the world) under lockdown. It’s a crazy time for us all but many artists have decided to take their performances online. There have been SO many live stream shows pop up on Instagram (IG), Facebook (FB), YouTube (YT) and more. And since they are happening all over the globe, you can find a good show just about any time of the day/night!

My live stream show strategy has been logging into my platform of choice (for me, that’s Facebook), and seeing who is currently live.  I’ve caught quite a few artists that way (The Talbott Brothers, Jewel, Tony Lucca, Nadia Reed to name a few).  There are also artists like Mary Chapin Carpenter, Glorious Sons and The Franklin Electric whose daily song posts keep me going! My favorite virtual run-in was with one of my absolutely favorite artists from Philadelphia, Paul Keen, who never comes to LA. I’m thinking this could be a great way to discover more local artists!

For those looking for more advance planning, here’s what I’ve come across. I’m sure there are so many more (all times in PST are my best estimation…double check for exact times)

Well, it took away my SXSW and then my baseball and now my friends and my live music. This coronavirus has really been…a challenge. It’s my birthday week and I’d say my plans have been whittled down to a large boba and sitting on the beach with a book, but it will probably rain, I somehow lost the book I was reading, and who knows how much longer the boba shops will stay open.

Speaking of things being open, while many of LA’s music venues have shut down for at least the rest of the month, a few of the smaller rooms still seem to be hosting shows. This is not a recommendation to go out, simply a compilation of choice local shows that still seem to be a go. If going out, be safe and be sure to check social media day of to make sure events are still happening.  I’m seeing many artists announcing virtual concerts so what I would recommend is using your extra time at home to support your favorite artists in that way or discover some new ones! Maybe I’ll post a playlist…
