๐ถ Jukebox 1264 presents Carole Kingโs Tapestry: An Evening in Laurel Canyon at Esquires (Ages 14+)

Time: 19:30 Price: ยฃ16.50
ABOUT
With the house prices too costly in the centre of town, a creative hub emerged in Laurel Canyon; an area overlooking Los Angeles in the Hollywood Hills. Just some of those who took advantage of this cheaper living space included members of The Byrds and The Doors as well as Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Carole Kingโฆ
๐ค FIRST HALF OF THE CONCERT
In the first half of this concert you will hear music from the artists listed above as well as many others by the Laurel Canyon residents during this time.
๐ค SECOND HALF OF THE CONCERT
In the second half, the band will perform in its entirety Carole King's masterpiece Tapestry.
๐ถ A BIT MORE INFO.....
Of all the albums released at this time in the Laurel Canyon community, Tapestry, arguably, sums up this counter-culture best. It is a statement of togetherness, love in all its forms, feminism, and endless hope for the future. Jukebox 1264 are a pop ensemble formed by the Lewes Music Group in 2021. Their themed concerts pay tribute to eras, albums and artists throughout the last 60 years in popular music. So far the band have paid tribute to the music of: โช๏ธCarole King,
โช๏ธBilly Joel,
โช๏ธThe Beatles,
โช๏ธFleetwood Mac,
โช๏ธABBA and many more!
โน๏ธ For more information visit: www.lewesmusicgroup.com
PLEASE NOTE:
Please note that Jukebox 1264 is not a โtributeโ band. While many of our shows are centered around one artist and we attempt to recreate their music as authentically and tastefully as possible, we reserve the right to make it unique to us while providing high quality performances.
โน๏ธ AGE INFORMATION
14+ only. 14s to 15s must be accompanied by an adult. No refunds will be given for incorrectly booked tickets.
