Blue Bayou: a tribute to Linda Ronstadt
Saturday, August 18, 2007
Doors open at 5 PM, show starts at 8 PM
Blue Bayou stars Robyn Roth as Linda Ronstadt backed by a band of seasoned Los Angeles musicians. Blue Bayou guitarist Stephen Patt toured with the Chambers Brothers, Edgar Winter and Bonnie Bramlett. Dubbed “The Queen of Rock” and “The Queen of Country Rock” Linda Ronstadt became the first female rock superstar in a decidedly male-dominated genre. Blue Bayou is one of the only tributes to this musical pioneer. The concert covers Rondstadt’s career from the late 60’s to her most recent release in 2006. The music featured is a cross-section of pop, rock and country.

Carry On - a Tribute to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Saturday, August 25, 2007
Doors open at 5 PM, show starts at 8 PM
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young have spoken to generations of musical audiences. From their historic "second gig" at Woodstock in 1969 to their current sold-out concerts, the music of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young has never failed to captivate, enlighten, and charm their audiences. Carry On successfully delivers the unique, 3-part harmonies from Crosby, Stills and Nash with the rock edge brought by Young with each performance.

Carry On's David Crosby (Gary Hagen) was a five-year member of Neil Young's band Crazy Horse. Jody Cortez, drummer for Carry On, has toured and played with Crosby, Stills and Nash, Boz Scaggs, Joe Cocker and Billy Idol and has publicly received accolades from David Crosby.

Hotel California: a salute to the Eagles
Friday, September 7, 2007
Doors open at 5 PM, show starts at 8 PM
This Southern California band is comprised of five respected, multi-talented top music industry professionals. Their show salutes the music of The Eagles, a supergroup whose music and lyrics has proven to have a staying power that few bands lay claim to. Audiences experience the energy and magic of the timeless sounds of The Eagles. Each concert presents an exciting showcase of The Eagles mega-hits such as “Take it Easy”, “Heartache Tonight”, and “Hotel California” as well as newer releases “Get Over It” and “Love will Keep Us Alive”. The group also performs select titles from the solo works of Don Henley, Glen Frey, and Joe Walsh. Hotel California performs 150 - 200 high profile events every year, including special corporate functions, charity benefits, fund raisers, outdoor concerts, festivals, and fairs, playing main stages receiving top billing as a national act, as well as opening for some of the most prominent names in the entertainment industry.

“We put this band at the top of the Eagles tribute chart. There is none better! If you get a chance to see these guys, don't pass it up. Believe me you'll never see (or hear) an Eagles show this good short of the real thing.”
