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 counterculture
best. It is a statement of togetherness, love in all its forms, feminism, and
endless hope for the future.
