SOLD OUT! Introducing Lookout Mountain – The Music of Laurel Canyon: a heartfelt tribute to the legendary music scene that blossomed in the hills above Los Angeles during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Laurel Canyon was a creative epicenter where iconic artists like Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Mamas & The Papas, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Linda Rondstat, James Taylor, and The Byrds gave voice to a generation through songs that remain timeless. Lookout Mountain brings this vibrant era to life, capturing the harmonies, spirit, and soul of the music that shaped a cultural revolution.

The band features a stellar lineup of world-class musicians with deep ties to this music and its legacy: James Raymond (keyboards/vocals), Steve Postell (guitar/vocals), Jeff Pevar (guitar/vocals), Kipp Lennon (vocals), Kiki Ebsen (keyboards/vocals), Gary Novak (drums), and Andrew Ford (bass). With rich harmonies and deep musicality, Lookout Mountain honors the Canyon’s golden age while bringing its enduring songs to new audiences.

Adding to the evening’s magic, renowned rock photographer Henry Diltz—whose iconic images helped define the look of the era and lived on Lookout Mountain Drive for over twenty-five years — will present a stunning slideshow before each set, sharing rarely heard stories and unforgettable photographs of the Canyon’s legendary scene. Also, Santa Barbara native, singer-songwriter and founding member of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Glen Phillips will be featured on a few songs.

Join original members of The Wrecking Crew Don Randi and Don Peake along with a special appearance by Lamont Dozier, Jr., a stellar band, and some of LA’s most talented singers for a night that pays tribute to the legendary collective of musicians known as The Wrecking Crew.

The Wrecking Crew Revisited takes you on a musical journey which will highlight songs by many of the artists who were backed by these talented musicians. You’ll also get to hear many of their fascinating behind-the-scenes stories.

The Wrecking Crew became the term used to describe a collective of session musicians based in Los Angeles who played on literally thousands of recordings in the 1960s and early 1970s. This includes several hundred Top 40 hits by major recording artists like The Beach Boys, Bobby Darin, Sonny & Cher, Glen Campbell (who was also a member of The Wrecking Crew), Elvis Presley, Nancy Sinatra, and more, and they worked with producers such as Brian Wilson, Lou Adler, Mike Post, and Phil Spector (“Wall of Sound”) to create some of the best loved songs of all time. The Wrecking Crew were the "go to" session musicians in Los Angeles during that time and considered one of the most successful and prolific session recording units in music history.

A SPECIAL FATHER'S DAY CELEBRATION! TWO SHOWS ONLY!

"My Buddy: The Other Side of Oz” is a heartfelt cabaret-style jazz show featuring singer, pianist and storyteller Kiki Ebsen.

“If you enjoy witty storytelling, celebrity insider nostalgia and exquisite musical arrangements, then Kiki Ebsen’s My Buddy: The Other Side of Oz was custom made for you.” 
 ~Cabaret Scenes



Buddy Ebsen’s career spanned seven decades. Kiki, Buddy’s sixth daughter, shares a unique prospective on growing up in a show business family. Already fifty years old when Kiki was born, Buddy’ s musical dreams for his daughter were vastly different from the path she had chose for herself. That created a tension that separated them early on in her career as she went in search of her own voice. The ultimate reconnection at the end is inspiring and heartwarming. Though out the journey you’ll hear key stories about his ups and downs in entertainment and of course you will hear, in Buddy’s words, the story of what actually happened to him while filming “The Wizard of Oz.”


Backed by seasoned jazz musicians, the show features standards from the Great American Songbook. Recorded originally on her critically acclaimed, "Scarecrow Sessions" CD released on Father's Day 2014, each song sparks a different part of her father's life and career on stage and on screen. Further augmented by family pictures and nostalgic video clips, "My Buddy: The Other Side of Oz” takes historical and personal look back at an American icon that brought so many smiles to people's faces before he became a household name on The Beverly Hillbillies and Barnaby Jones. Family friendly. No age limit.
