Whether you live in Santa Monica (a.k.a. extremely west Los Angeles to you Eastsiders) or the depths of the West Valley (Canoga Park, represent!), there are sites for songsters and the people who love them.
Ms. Go Go knows that group includes you.
The Talking Stick
Art gallery, coffee house, neighborhood hang…the Talking Stick in Santa Monica is many things to many people but for everyone, it’s THE Westside spot for every kind of great music, including and especially singers/songwriters. Come for an eclectic mix of promoter-organized evenings, the big, friendly, open vibe, and the generous sense of community.
Friday, May 21st!: A $10 advance ticket for Singer/Songwriter: Welcome to the Talking Stick gets you entry into the Talking Stick’s CD release party/fundraiser show, featuring tons of top-notch talent. (That ticket will be $15 at the door…if available…so don’t linger, Go Go’ers.)
The Guitar Merchant
In yesterday’s post, when Ms. Go Go said there were songwriters in “every corner” of Los Angeles, she was talking about The Guitar Merchant way out in Canoga Park. This full-service guitar store can handle all your “Stairway to Heaven” needs but their Wednesday night Open Mic night is also a haven for songwriters in the wild, wild west (valley). Come because you’re in Canoga Park, the music is calling and you need a guitar pick….
Go west, young Go Go’ers, go west.
