Los Angeles to host a variety of music events this week

Join us on the evening of Wednesday, August 21st as we host internationally acclaimed, multi-faceted electronic musician and live performer Laura Escudé. An expert in the realm of live show design for some of the biggest names in the game from Herbie Hancock to Kanye West, Laura is a leading force in the worlds of music and live performance. On her own, she composes and performs immersive auditory experiences as a one-woman orchestra — conducting intricate sonic patterns in real-time with custom controllers and melding violin work with futuristic, ambrosial vocals into neo-classical creations.

Get ready for a night of classic rock and classic country hits under the stars as the Steve Miller Band joins forces with Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives at the Greek. You could fill an entire road trip with the hits of the Steve Miller Band. With enduring favorites like "The Joker," "Fly Like an Eagle," "Rock'n Me," "Abracadabra," "Jet Airliner" and "Jungle Love,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was one of the defining artists of the '70s and '80s. Five-time Grammy winner Marty Stuart cut his teeth as a sideman for bluegrass legend Lester Flatt before going on to join Johnny Cash’s band. In the ‘90s, he became a chart-topping solo artist, and the Grand Ole Opry star is still one of the greatest musicians in the game.

Never one to rest on his considerable past achievements — including an Oscar® and multiple Grammy® Awards — Herbie Hancock continues to expand his own musical vision. In addition to performing his own material, Herbie will share the stage with jazz’s next generation of trailblazers. It’s a showcase of the future guided by one of jazz’s key architects.

From their inception Generationals have existed at the convergence of classic style and contemporary technique. Students of an analog school actualized in a digital medium, Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner have always felt most comfortable reveling in this juxtaposition. Grounded in a catalog of infectious pop hooks that feel both familiar and radically new all at once, Generationals mastered their distinct voice as a means to widen the path before them. "Reader As Detective," their new full-length album, weds vintage pop canon and modern pop production in a way this duo has proven incomparably adept.
