8/18/24: LA Made Presents: Strong Words – Endless L.A. Summer

Strong Words 8/18 Banner

Strong Words, the favorite “Storytelling for Grown-Ups” show of Silver Lake and Atwater Village, recently toasted 13 years and 100 shows with an epic outdoor event at the Autry Museum.

This marks the popular salon’s fifth appearance at LA Made, and the Strong Words crew promises a delightful Sunday afternoon for Angelenos to bask in the air-conditioned splendor of the magnificent Mark Taper Auditorium while soaking up fun and refreshing stories, poetry, and music.

It’s a 90-minute celebration of Summer you won’t soon forget. “Voices of the City” for this performance include Roy Cruz, Jimmy Walsh Doyle, Marlene Nichols, Brett Paesel, Lynne Thompson, and special musical guest Jason Luckett.

This event is free, and while reservations are not required, they are highly encouraged. To reserve your seat, please go to this link. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

9/6/24 First Fridays Jazz Night w/JL & Friends: Julian Velard, Francisco Ruiz

Join us Friday, September 6, for our penultimate First Fridays Jazz Night with Jason Luckett & Friends at Lyd & Mo’s! 

This month we have Francisco Ruiz, whom I met when we were singing on the show Extended Family at the beginning of the year. Originally from Ecuador, he’s a brilliant singer who’s worked with some of my favorite artists from Ivan Lins and Bobby McFerrin to U2!

We also have Julian Velard joining us! I met Julian (who was previously based in NYC) on the recommendation of producer Stephen Power who’d been raving about him for years. He’s described as a classic entertainer – a rare combination of Nilsson-meets-Newman, piano-driven singer-songwriter sensibility and razor-sharp comedic timing.
