Not Fade Away – Buddy Holly & Ritchie Valens Tribute presented by Joshua Josue
Joshua Josué presents a night of songs by Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and The Big Bopper to commemorate 65 years since the day the music died. On February 1, 2024, music enthusiasts will have the privilege of experiencing Joshua’s heartfelt tribute firsthand. Taking center stage, Joshua and his band will skillfully render the timeless classics of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper. From the foot-tapping rhythms of “La Bamba” to the infectious energy of “That’ll be The Day” and the soulful ballad, “Donna,” Joshua’s performance promises to be a captivating journey through the golden era of rock and roll. But the magic doesn’t stop there. In addition to the chart-toppers, Joshua will delve into the lesser-known treasures of Ritchie Valens’ repertoire, treating the audience to gems like “Ritchie’s Blues” and the enchanting “Malagueña.” These selections shine a light on the depth and versatility of the Chicano musical tradition. This is more than just a performance; it’s a celebration of rock ‘n’ roll history and the Chicano heritage, and a fusion of cultural richness and artistic expression. Through Joshua’s soulful renditions, he not only pays homage to the musical greats but also leaves an indelible mark on the tapestry of Chicano musical history. With local blues guitar hero Ben Rice, bassist Keith McCarthy, and drummer Vince Adamé, Joshua brings to life the music that inspired him and a generation of guitar bands. This will be a partially-seated show, so you can DANCE! Tickets$20 Advance$25 At the Door Minors ok with parent/guardianReview our Health & Safety Policies HERE

3 LEG TORSO PRESENTS The Elvises of Frostländ
3 LEG TORSO PRESENTS The Elvises of Frostländ with Special Guests: Pepe Raphael Jet Black Pearl The Amazing Bubble Man Chervonaand The Next Generation During the historic pandemic of 2020, the members of 3 Leg Torso were recruited by a large, mysterious man to travel to Frostländ and become elves in his toy workshop, which actually turned out to be a small cabin in the woods with no heat, frozen water pipes, and a tiny room full of tools which quickly became obsolete for making toys…because they were frozen solid to the benches! Steadily, the newly appointed elves survived the chilling darkness and crippling mental depression by playing their various musical instruments they were allowed to bring on their journey, and with this, they discovered that their music somehow magically heated their icy cabin. Towards the end of the toy-building season, the Elves happily wrapped up their duties at the workshop, ready to depart for home, but just as they were leaving, a freak ice storm stranded them for another season. As they experience yet another wave of dread and hopelessness during this period of frozen isolation, random visitors arrive at the cabin, bringing supplies and spreading joy – and much of this joy is spread through the sharing of music. Ticket prices Angel of the Arts $50 Angels of the Arts unconditionally support the arts and artists. Thanks for making the community a better place. Includes Preferred Seating in the first 7 rows of the center section General Admission $35 Youth (12 & Under) $20 Minors ok when accompanied by a parent or guardianReview our Health & Safety Policies HERE

Deb Talan (of the Weepies) with special guest Elena Loper
Deb Talan has been writing songs since she was 14 years old. Granted, her style has changed a bit since writing the forever-unknown smash-hit “Through the Window” about feeling numb, like life was going on somewhere out there but not accessible to her (at 14. so jaded.) She played clarinet, wrote songs on piano, later taught herself to play guitar in college, got obsessed with Shawn Colvin, was a vegetarian for 4 years, ended that with a hotdog and a swim in lake Michigan, started a band in Portland, OR with her friend Mark, named it Hummingfish, wrote a lot of fun songs that people danced to ‘til they were all sweaty in that hipster/grungy/geeky Northwest kind of way, moved back to the east coast 6 years and a divorce later and began playing solo in Boston coffee houses (read: 4 different Starbucks that she also poured espresso at) opened shows for Catie Curtis (a songwriter hero of hers) met up with Steve Tannen and formed The Weepies, played shows all over the country and the world, toured in a real tourbus! moved to LA, got married to Steve, made 5 records and 3 amazing boy-children together with him, had songs placed in loads of movies and tv shows, moved to Iowa, got breast cancer, got chemotherapy and relied heavily on marijuana for pain and nausea relief (Legalize, for gods’ sakes, can we grow up as a country, please?) recovered from breast cancer, made a solo album, struggled with mental health issues (Childhood Incest Survivor, lucky to be alive, music has helped, and so have many blessed healers) and relationship issues for 6 years, got divorced from Steve. She has a lot she could say these days. She prefers to listen. But playing songs for people is a close second. Music heals. Songs can be prayers. Elena Loper opens the show.
