SUMMARY:☆ Patrick Landeza & Sons Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar
DESCRIPTION:☆ Part of the Roots & Rambles concert series. \nHot off the heels of his historic second Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award win (Hawaiian GRAMMY)\, Patrick Landeza heads to The Annex with his new musical trio Patrick Landeza & Sons. The group includes star Hawaiian steel guitar player Justin Firmeza and PJ Landeza on bass guitar. Come celebrate an evening of Hawaiian music\, hula and aloha! \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About Patrick Landeza & SonsA native Hawaiian who was raised on the mainland\, Patrick Landeza found his roots in the music shared with him by his mother\, Frances Kawaipūloʻu Kuakini OʻSullivan Landeza. The songs that she taught him were songs that she learned growing up in Hoʻolehua on the island of Molokaʻi. 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 kī hōʻalu’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. Each concert includes a workshop highlighting an aspect of the performer’s craft. Made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Ambassador Christian SchoolGuys and Dolls
DESCRIPTION:Ambassador Christian School of Torrance returns with another classic American musical. Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy\, Guys and Dolls ran for 1\,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. This romantic comedy set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City features Frank Loesser’s brassy\, immortal score and such crowd-pleasing songs as “Luck Be A Lady”\, “Sue Me”\, “I’ve Never Been In Love Before”\, and the show-stopping “Sit Down\, You’re Rockin’ the Boat”. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana\, and even into the sewers of New York City\, but eventually\, everyone ends up right where they belong. \nPerformances at 7PM. \n

SUMMARY:DCR Pollock & Izzi Ray
DESCRIPTION:Alt-rock singer-songwriter DCR Pollock\, an LA local\, has made a name for himself by creating music with a biographical approach that resonates with the masses. 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 swеar. 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.”

It is loud\, physical\, and powerfully expressive. It is a deeply mediated world music; it is both very old and quite contemporary; it is a fusion of different musical influences; it is folkloricized; and it is a global phenomenon\, with approximately three hundred groups in North American and perhaps five thousand in Japan.”  – Dr. Deborah Wong\, Louder and Faster: Pain\, Joy\, and the Body Politic in Asian American Taiko(2019) \nAbout Yeeman “ManMan” Mui (they/them) \nYeeman “ManMan” Mui is a multidisciplinary taiko artist\, dedicated to artistic expression to foster an inclusive\, equitable\, and creative community through multisensory expression and a mindful connection with one’s body.

SUMMARY:☆ Honey Whiskey Trio 10 Year Anniversary Concert
DESCRIPTION:Advance online & phone sales are closed. Tickets available at the door. $28 cash\, $33 credit.  \nConcert is at 8:30pm. Doors open at 6:45pm for the pre-concert “Body Rhythms” Workshop which will start a little after 7:00pm.  \nThe beloved three “sisters in song” return to the Annex stage to bring you rowdy tunes and at least one murder ballad with masterful harmonies\, stomp and traditional instrumentation. Los Angeles based Honey Whiskey Trio tells stories through song and stomp\, highlighting the musical traditions of American Folk Music. \nAlumni of the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at California State University\, Long Beach\, Courtney Politano\, Ann Louise Thaiss and Christina Wilson began singing together in each other’s living rooms as an emotional and musical release. In 2013\, after seeing the impact of their music on the contemporary A cappella community\, these “sisters in song” solidified their style as American Folk and picked up instruments to further enhance their vocally driven sound. \nToday their passion for music education\, community outreach\, and singing unapologetically 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. \n“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 \nPre-concert Body Rhythms Workshop at 7PM \n☆ Part of the Roots & Rambles concert series. \nConcert 8:30PM \nTickets include the workshop. \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.
