Carsie Blanton Opener: Brittany Ann Tranbaugh
2023-10-19 20:00 | The Grand Annex, 434 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731
One table has become available for this show.

In her own words, Carsie Blanton writes anthems for a world worth saving, and has been doing so since she first picked up guitar as a teen. Her music is a unique mix of pop, rock and sultry jazz, with healthy doses of heart, humor and revolutionary optimism. Her viral hits include a tribute to John Prine; Fishin’ with You. 18+ show.
Blanton’s dynamic live performances seek to delight and galvanize audiences. Each song she sings has an equal amount of her signature heartfelt authenticity and self-advertised mischievous moxie.
She isn’t afraid to explore the political or burlesque, and never fails to bring her fans together in love, determination, hope and camaraderie.

Opener: Brittany Ann Tranbaugh
Bouncing between witty sarcasm and heartbreaking vulnerability, Tranbaugh makes music that is energetic and self-assured. Her EP Quarter Life Crisis Haircut went viral in April 2022, and in July 2022, her queer Americana heartbreaker Kiss You was awarded Song of the Year in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
This show is for ages 18 and up.

JEFF DAYTON The Music of Glen Campbell
2023-10-14 20:00 | The Grand Annex, 434 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731
Glen Campbell remains one of the most well-respected musicians who bridged the line between country and pop. Jeff remembers his 15 years as Campbell’s bandleader and pays tribute to the music and legacy of his mentor and friend. Hear Wichita Lineman, Gentle On My Mind, Southern Nights and more.
As a young musician just starting out, Jeff Dayton found himself working alongside top-tier touring artists, and even Dizzy Gillepsie, each of whom gave him a deep sense of the value of “the groove.” He formed his own band, met up with Campbell, and his career took off.

In 2017 after Campbell passed away, Dayton added to his own repertoire his “Salute to Glen Campbell” show, which has since sold out to standing ovations in cities all over North America.

Grammy-nominated Perla Batalla pays tribute to her mentor, the late great Leonard Cohen. Hear classics like Bird on a Wire, Dance Me to the End of Love and Hallelujah. Batalla’s remarkable voice has been sought after for years, enhancing the work of artists such as Lou Reed, Jackson Browne and kd lang.
Known for her distinctively warm, beautiful voice and culture-merging compositions, Perla Batalla grew up surrounded by all genres and styles of Latin-American music at her parents’ record shop “Disocteca Batalla” in 1970s Venice, California.

After several years of touring as a back-up singer for Leonard Cohen, Batalla started her solo career in the mid-90s with Cohen’s encouragement and mentorship. Fast forward to today and she has recorded 7 albums, staged 2 one-woman shows, been featured on film and TV and performed in prestigious venues around the world. San Jose Mercury News said, “Batalla’s gorgeous, rich, contralto voice adds another layer of beauty to Cohen’s elegantly crafted songs.”
In addition to her widely-celebrated musical talent, Perla is also dedicated to youth music education, hoping to spread her love of the beauty of music and the Spanish language to children and young adults. Her work in this area has earned her multiple awards, including the New Mexico Premio Fronterizo Award for healing work in the world, as well as two from the United Nations: the Earth Charter Award for extraordinary devotion to social and economic justice, and The Environmental Peacebuilding Award for advancing social justice through music.

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.
