His latest release ‘Bark!\,’ is about his struggles with loneliness and vulnerability. “Curled up on a van floor\, cut off at the corner store. You know I’ve never felt so damn alive\, or alone before\,” he sings. \nOther People Records picked up his label\, creating his debut album earlier this year\, Call the Dogs Off. Pollock draws on his experience as a laborer to build his music\, “How much time do you think I’ve lost? Just staring at a warehouse clock. Move that barrel\, lift that box. Hell\, man\, it’s a job. Don’t you worry\, come next year. We’ll be on our feet\, I swĐ”ar. Are these dreams or they prayers?” Pollock will be performing songs from his latest album at the Grand Annex with his full band. \nIndie pop singer Izzi Ray performs emotional melodies from her latest album Self Untitled. Born in Southern California and raised in Northwest Montana\, her artistry reflects the contrast in her upbringing. From a sentiment of not knowing where to belong\, she creates music aspiring to make beautiful things as reminders to continue to breathe\, grow\, love\, and savor each day. Drawn to emotional melodies and expressive production\, her writing is a breath of fresh air\, rich with therapeutic reflections. Izzi has released four full-length albums\, which she calls an “autobiographical snapshot of the season of life in which it was made.” URL:https://grandvision.org/event/dcr-pollock-izzi-ray/ LOCATION:The Grand Annex\, 434 W. 6th St.\, San Pedro\, CA\, 90731 CATEGORIES:Concert,Featured Events,Grand Vision Season,Pop,Rock,The Grand Annex ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://grandvision.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/2023-Spring-PM-and-Website-Images-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230306T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230306T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T220551 CREATED:20230105T001335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230110T193559Z UID:10000358-1678129200-1678132800@grandvision.org SUMMARY:Team TaikoJapanese Drum Lessons DESCRIPTION:We believe in creating unique opportunities for people to meet their neighbors and engage in their community in a new way.

The songs that she taught him were songs that she learned growing up in HoÊ»olehua on the island of MolokaÊ»i. The music filled cultural gaps left by his childhood in California\, providing a firm foundation upon which he built his musical career. The music he grew up listening to connecting Patrick with some of kÄ« hĆÊ»alu’s (slack key guitar’s) most legendary names: Cyril Pahinui\, Raymond Kāne\, George Kuo\, and Dennis Kamakahi. Under their tutelage\, Patrick’s style of music became firmly rooted in slack-key. Now a father of 5\, it’s Landeza’s turn to follow in his mother’s footsteps and share the songs of his heritage with the next generation. His son\, PJ Landeza and his hānai son\, Justin Firmeza regularly tour with Patrick. \nPre-concert Workshop at 7PM: Slack & Steel: Hawaiian Steel and Slack Key Guitar Workshop w/ Justin Firmeza and Patrick LandezaJustin and Patrick demonstrate the dynamics of these two unique Hawaiian styles of playing; steel guitar and slack key guitar. This will be both a hands-on and wala`au (discussion) session so feel free to bring an instrument. Justin Firmeza is one of the young up-and-coming steel players. His unique style blends jazz and western swing along with sacred steel. Justin is currently a jazz major at San Jose State University and teaches music part-time at Moreau Catholic High School. \n☆ Roots & Rambles is a three-concert series featuring musicians dedicated to the preservation\, artistry and evolution of folk and traditional music in the United States.
