Please join me and a few other great singers as we perform with original members of The Wrecking Crew - Don Randi, Don Peake, and Chuck Berghofer. The Wrecking Crew was a loose collective of session musicians based in Los Angeles whose services were employed for thousands of studio recordings in the 1960s & early 1970s, including several hundred Top 40 hits. The musicians were viewed prestigiously among industry insiders and are now considered one of the most successful and prolific session recording units in music history. The Wrecking Crew were the "go to" session musicians in Los Angeles during this time. They worked with dozens of producers including Brian Wilson, Terry Melcher, Lou Adler, Bones Howe, Jimmy Bowen, and Mike Post. They were teamed with artists as diverse as Jan & Dean, Bobby Vee, Nancy Sinatra, the Grass Roots, Simon & Garfunkel, Glen Campbell, the Partridge Family, David Cassidy, the Carpenters, John Denver and Nat King Cole. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys produced and co-wrote many of their most famous tracks, and used the Wrecking Crew's talents extensively in the mid-1960s, including on songs such as "Help Me, Rhonda", "California Girls", and "Good Vibrations" and several of their album projects of the period, including Pet Sounds (1966) and the original sessions for Smile.

Kiki Ebsen is an award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, who has built an exciting career as a main stage performer, recording artist, and sought-after keyboardist. Kiki’s solo shows include a diverse collection of beloved songs that feed the heart, body, mind, and soul… an evening of entertainment you won’t want to miss. Her originals songs cover a broad range of styles… jazz, R&B, folk, pop, country and rock, and she often includes some songs from her Joni Mitchell Project.

Her latest CD, “Fill Me Up” was released in 2020, and prior to that, she released “Red,” and “The Beauty Inside,” which have earned acclaim from international reviewers and peers alike. Kiki’s CD, “Scarecrow Sessions,” is a collection of jazz standards taken from her father’s early movies and musical productions. This album ultimately led Kiki to write and co-produce a full-stage production called “To Dad with Love: A Tribute to Buddy Ebsen, which includes songs and stories from the record.

Kiki has toured with Grammy-winning and Platinum-selling artists including Chicago, Christopher Cross, Tracy Chapman, Boz Scaggs, Al Jarreau, Namie Amuro, Michael McDonald, and Wilson Phillips, among many more. In 2020, Kiki initiated a weekly livestream, “The Songwriter’s Living Room,” from her Healing Equine Ranch, which still continues to keep audiences engaged and uplifted throughout the COVID lockdown. For more on Kiki, visit: www.kikiebsen.com
