Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 5/19-5/25

Posted on by Kristen

It was another magical night at The Hotel Cafe last week when I went to see Kids in America and ended up bearing witness to a pop-up James Bay acoustic set. Turns out the British crooner is (almost) as in love with the venue as I am. He was certainly at home for storyteller hour where the room was treated to anecdotes in addition to songs spanning his discography, including deeper cuts and audience requests. It was a night to remember!

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 5/5-5/11

With festival season easing in, I’m reflecting upon perhaps my favorite overseas fest, Barn on the Farm. Taking place in the English countryside, not too far from Wales, the rustic fest still manages to boast a stellar lineup of both known and new (to me) acts. The last, hopefully not final, Barn on the Farm was in 2023 where I feel in love with many a band including the passion and harmonies of Irish folk/pop group, Kingfishr, who happen to be playing their first Los Angeles show Monday night at The Hotel Cafe.

As the week continues, we’ve also got the start of a couple notable May residencies (Lila Forde, Hardcastle) and a couple powerful one-two punches in Rett Madison + John-Robert at the Echo and Circa Waves + Friday Pilots Club at the El Rey.

It’s been an eventful week personally speaking. Everything is ok but it’s one of those things where it feels like “when it rains, it pours.” I’m hoping for a bit of a reprieve this week. In more exciting news, The Silent Comedy announced a hometown show at the Belly Up with their pals Transfer in September. I feel like it’s been eons since both of those bands played! Something to look forward to.
