Summer Music 

Have you gotten out to see live music this summer?  I hope you’ve enjoyed it if you have, and that you have been safe and comfortable at the venues you’ve visited.  Here in Southern California there are a few great places to see live music with good protocols in place.  Some of these venues also broadcast a live stream of the shows along with a live audience in place, which can be great for reaching out to a wider audience online.  

McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica is now operating a full concert calendar.  This is a venerable Los Angeles listening room with the finest acoustics in town for acoustic music.  Find all the info, concert schedule and buy tickets online At McCabe’s Website HERE  

The Coffee Gallery in Altadena is producing live concerts Thursdays through Sundays. Find all you need to know at the  Coffee Gallery Website  

Namba Arts Center in Ventura is a relatively new space that offers a great, eclectic lineup.  Find the Namba Arts Center HERE

The Folk Music Center in Claremont is a must-see space for musicians and music lovers who appreciate history and musical instruments.  Ellen Harper operates the store and museum for musical instruments from all over the world and it’s also super concert venue.  Visit the Folk Music Center’s Website HERE

The Ojai Underground Exchange is a terrific listening room in the heart of Ojai, California.  Find the Ojai Arts Exchange HERE

I hope you find some great live music out there and soon!
