Universal Pictures featured Malone’s recording of “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” in the promotional trailers for their 2018 film “The Grinch.” More about Bob’s touring and studio work

Along with the best of his catalog of bluesy rockers and cathartic piano ballads, Bob’s live shows feature classic anthems by Fleetwood Mac, The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan and others transformed into foot-stomping displays of keyboard pyrotechnics.

Danny Hamilton "The Knocking" Record Release Concert
2024-10-18 19:00 - 21:00 | The Grand Annex, 434 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731
Danny Hamilton, the acclaimed singer-songwriter known for his soulful blend of blues, roots, country, and gritty rock n’ roll, released his latest album, “The Knocking,” on May 3. Marking his most hard-hitting work to date, “The Knocking” serves as a testament to Hamilton’s profound musical journey and his intimate relationship with the depths of the human spirit.

A sonic odyssey through the landscapes of the low country, “The Knocking” invites listeners on a sprawling, episodic adventure from the very first notes of “Down the Line.” With Hamilton as both narrator and companion, the album navigates peaks and valleys, both metaphorically and literally, offering a conceptual journey that resonates with authenticity and emotional depth.
Crafted with a powerful mix of keys, guitars, harmonica, and other Americana-tinged elements, “The Knocking” showcases Hamilton’s prowess in creating aural landscapes that are as rich as they are evocative. His vocals, more formidable and intentional than ever, intertwine seamlessly with the instrumentation, resulting in a release that traverses a broad emotional spectrum with ease.
At its core, “The Knocking” is unabashedly raw and unapologetically rock-infused. Tracks like “Jump On These Blues” and “Stick & Stone” ignite a fiery energy that permeates the entire album, offering a captivating blend of intensity and introspection.
“The Knocking” emerges as a masterful fusion of musical elements, evolving from its humble beginnings into something elemental and grand. It is a testament to Hamilton’s artistry and a testament to the transformative power of music.
With “The Knocking,” Danny Hamilton delivers yet another masterpiece that demands to be heard, offering an experience that resonates long after the final notes fade away.

This event is presented by Danny Hamilton.

James Taylor rose to fame in the 1970s, when he became known for writing and performing sensitive, affecting songs. Over the course of a long-running career, Taylor has won five Grammy Awards and is the first artist to have top 10 albums in each of the last six decades. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and received a National Medal of the Arts in 2011.

The beloved folk trio returns to the Annex stage to bring you masterful harmonies and rowdy tunes.

Courtney Politano, Ann Louise Thaiss and Christina Wilson began singing together in each other’s living rooms as students at Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSU, Long Beach. In 2013, they took a chance in the contemporary a cappella community and, in their first year, won the prestigious Harmony Sweepstakes National Competition! Since then, these “sisters in song” have solidified their style as American Folk and picked up traditional instruments to accompany their vocally driven sound.

Today, their passion for music-making, music education and community outreach continues to drive them. They create, arrange and explore music from the front porches, music halls and hymn books of early America, sharing it with students, adults and life-long music lovers across the United States.
“Their sound is intoxicating… To simply classify this trio as folk, bluegrass or jazz would be to do them a great disservice. What I hear is great music and what I see is great joy.” – Bluegrass Spin

LA-based Blues legend returns with his signature picking style learned from masters like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb. Joined by an array of Blues artists including Ray Bailey and Mo Beeks.

“We Blues performers most often do ‘our thing’ for audiences who are in the house to party and socialize, leaving little room for heartfelt stories from the stage. This evening we leave some room for people who are interested in the music to know more about the people who produce it. Each artist has had a unique path towards the music they love to play and each will take a couple of minutes to share their story before playing that music, be it song, instrumental, or both.” – Bernie Pearl
Born in East LA, Bernie Pearl became involved in the early days of the Folk Music revival through the music of Pete Seeger, the Weavers, Woody Guthrie, and Leadbelly. In 1958 Bernie’s brother Ed opened his music-coffee house, the Ash Grove. There Bernie performed with Lightnin’ Hopkins, Fred McDowell, Big Mama Thornton, and Freddie King. In 1968 Bernie began hosting “Nothin’ but the Blues” LA’s first all-blues radio show. He is also the founder the Long Beach Blues Festival.

Grammy-nominated Mo Beeks is one of LA’s favorite pianists, singers, songwriters and musical directors. He plays a variety of styles and is a carrier of the blues tradition. He has performed with Leroy Hudson, Chaka Khan, Tyrone Davis, Otis Clay, Mahalia Jackson and more.
