This event sends us back to California in the 1960s and 1970s as the hippies took over the Sunset Strip. With the house prices too costly in the centre of town, a creative hub emerged in Laurel Canyon; an area overlooking Los Angeles in the Hollywood Hills. Just some of those who took advantage of this cheaper living space included members of The Byrds and The Doors as well as Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Carole King…
In the first half of this concert you will hear music from the artists listed above as well as many others by the Laurel Canyon residents during this time.
In the second half, the band will perform in its entirety Carole King's masterpiece Tapestry. Of all the albums released at this time in the Laurel Canyon community, Tapestry, arguably, sums up this counter-culture best. It is a statement of togetherness, love in all its forms, feminism, and endless hope for the future.
