Greeting Acoustic Music Fans:
A special thanks to all who came out to the inaugural evening of the Listening Room Concerts Special at The Coachhouse in San Juan Capistrano last Thursday night over 80 strong and resulting in our being offered a quarterly residence there! Mark down Sunday, July 15th for the next show at the venue, featuring everything divine and more tba!
This Monday night is a special celebration of three years of monthly, first Monday, Listening Room Concerts at The Fremont Centre Theatre and the talent assembled for this anniversary show is truly phenomenal.
I want to publicly acknowledge and thank owners/operators Lissa & Jim Reynolds and Rosemary Layng for providing a home for us in this beautiful former chapel space, and the core volunteers without whom this series could not have grown or continued: Frequent host and pr man David Zink (), Tim & Lois Tedrow (Sound and Door) and Burton Jespersen, (Light, Camera and Action!). Also, to all who have helped grow by attending and spreading the word to friends and family about these nights, (and season tickets holders), thank you. And to our sponsors, who have made upgrades like the new printed programs possible, my deep appreciation for your ongoing support: Busters Coffee Shop, D&S Printing, Pedrini Music (), Pro Printing, Enas Cassettes, Trader Joes/South Pasadena and TAXI (), along with Performing Songwriter Magazine ( songwriter.com), SongLink, North American Folk Alliance and National Music Publishers Association.
Lastly, I want to thank the over 300 artists so far, who have traveled to South Pasadena from eight different countries and cities through North America - including those appearing Monday night to gather together and share a part of themselves for an appreciative audience, and a few bucks for gas
I am honored to be the steward of these events, and look forward to many years to come at the Fremont Centre Theatre.
Come join in the celebration this Monday evening!
Sincerely,
Brett
Performing Songwriter/Presenter
