One Night, back in 2004, country western singer Wiley Ray was enticed into performing “Oh Pretty Woman” at a karaoke bar. When he finished, he was treated to stunned silence and then thunderous applause.
It was fun, but….Wiley Ray wanted to do more: reach more people, touch more hearts, keep Roy Orbison alive in the memories of all those who had loved his music for decades, and introduce a new generation to Roy’s magic, music, and stage presence. To accomplish that, ROY ORBISON RETURNS was realized – a fully-scripted musical theater re-creation of Roy Orbison’s 1980’s concert era years complete with costumes, lighting, and staging, faithful to Orbison’s set lists and musical arrangements.
Highlights of the concert include: “Only the Lonely”, “Pretty Woman”, “Crying”, “Running Scared”, “You Got it” and many more from Orbison’s canon of hits. For a taste of the homage…pay to Roy Orbison, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYGPdgQr0wk.

South Bay Wind Ensemble In Space, A Symphonic Concert
2023-05-28 19:00 | Warner Grand Theatre, 478 W. 6th St., San Pedro, 90731
The South Bay Wind Ensemble returns to the stage with “In Space, A Symphonic Concert.” Under the direction of Maestro Steven Allen Fox, with Assistant Conductor, Matthew Visk, the concert promises to be an exciting journey across the universe, featuring music from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Trek: First Contract, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Gustav Holts’ The Planets.
Travel on a tour of our solar system with South Bay Wind Ensemble. Holst’s “The Planets” is now over 100 years old, but the music remains timeless and relevant. It begins with the powerful and bombastic Mars, progressing to the soulful Venus, and on through Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Alas, poor Pluto wasn’t discovered until after The Planets were completed. And now it’s not even a planet.

For more than 50 years, John Williams has been synonymous with the movies. We are excited to present two of his most enduring themes. From 1977 is the incredibly alien “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” And almost 40 years later, the exciting closing moments from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” We also have the main theme from “First Contact” by Jerry Goldsmith, in case you prefer Trek over Wars.

☆ Patrick Landeza & Sons Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar
2023-05-20 20:30 | The Grand Annex, 434 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731
☆ Part of the Roots & Rambles concert series.
Hot 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!

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.
Pre-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.
☆ 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.
