It looked like it wasn’t going to happen, but thanks to a songwriter night at a punk rock club in San Francisco, I was able to hit 200 shows for the year. Once again, I must thank the LA music scene, in particular the venues and staff, for getting me through some difficult times by giving me access to what truly gets me through – live music!

As a research scientist and live music enthusiast, my worlds collided last week when The Gibson Showroom hosted an event supporting research in women’s health. Representatives from Women Who Rock and the Magee-Womens Research Institute as well as drum queen Sheila E. gave speeches on the importance of women’s health research and how those in music can help as funding for an already under-funded, yet critical area of research becomes increasingly scarce. It warmed my heart to see women from across life genres coming out to support one another (and to help protect our future).

Speaking of cross support, this scientist is very excited to support one of her 2025 most listened to acts, UK rockers Himalayas, as they FINALLY come to Los Angeles Saturday night (supporting The Haunt at the Echo). Give their new album, BAD STAR a listen or, even better, come out to rock with me.

The news that rocked my world last week was that my beloved venue, The Hotel Cafe, is closing at its current location early next year.  This was the very first LA music space I entered (the night I moved to town) and it has been a place of solace, support, and many magical moments and musical discoveries over the years. The owners are relocating to a nearby spot in Hollywood, but it will be very hard for me to say goodbye to such an iconic and impactful venue.

The goodbye tour started last night when one of my favorite artists to be birthed from The Hotel Cafe, Meiko, returned for a night of music and memories. She told stories from her past (waiting tables at the venue) and present (living in London with three kids) which exemplified how we can both hold onto a space and move away from it – a good lesson to learn.

Next up in The Hotel Cafe nostalgia tour is Joshua Radin headlining two nights in the space that helped launch his career. Also next week we have acoustic Lifehouse, Justin Tranter, and a very packed Tuesday night including Casey Lowery’s first LA show, Hotel Mira, and Queens of the Stone Age.
