I have hung out and performed in many a place in the LA area. I have found great a community of talented artists.
Alas, many of my favorite places have come and gone. However, a few of my friends are still 'playing out' and having a good time.
Others have created cool spaces for local music and I listed a couple links for for events and contacts below.....
Thanks for supporting local artists, Gary.
