Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 02/16-02/22

As this calendar comes out, I’ll be visiting a new venue, Sid the Cat Auditorium, for the first time.  The occasion is a Valentine’s Day Ball with Z Berg and friends and the one and only Sarah McLachlan is listed as one of those friends. Also listed is Z Berg’s band, The Like, which was a big college era band for me so potential for nostalgia is high.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 02/02-02/08

There was a moment last week at the Luca Fogale show where the entire front row seemed to have glistening cheeks. It was difficult not to be overwhelmed at the power and beauty of his music as Luca and his band played mostly new songs off the album Challenger, which was released that very night. But this is the kind of overwhelm I live for and there is nothing quite like group therapy in music form.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 01/19-01/25
