Between The Hotel Cafe’s holiday party, 4 Non Blondes taking the stage for the first time in 20 years and the Stevie Wonder residency, next week feels like a special one for music in LA (There’s a joke here about it being the most WONDERful time of the year…).  I will be in San Francisco closing out the year where my big celebration will be another round of rock with Himalayas – ending 2025 with one of my top bands of the year!
