Celebrating this coast and all it has to offer has never seemed more pertinent – if for no other reason than because it’s December 4 and the weather outside is anything but frightful.  You need nary more than a blazer out there!  Since LA is the entertainment capitol of the world, it’s only fitting that we celebrate our side of the States with a music festival, namely the LA Philharmonic’s “West Coast, Left Coast” Festival on now at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

We’ve told you about the upcoming concerts, seen Kronos Quartet (and loved ‘em), and now have one last suggestion: this weekend’s performance featuring Brian Wilson (he of Beach Boys fame), Dave Alvin, The Living Sisters, and Harper Simon.  Talk about an LA tour de force – Brian Wilson will be on hand to perform an acoustic set of some of his greatest hits including “God Only Knows” and “California Girls” (another reason to celebrate this state).  He’ll share the stage with Dave Alvin, a blues and Americana hero originally from Downey, CA.  Up next is LA’s own The Living Sisters (who include the ethereal Eleni Mandell, Becky Stark, and Inara George) followed by singer/songwriter Harper Simon.  All in all, Disney Hall has never sounded more like the hippie, carefree state it calls home– and we doubt it ever will again.

Here’s the best bit… we’ve got tickets to giveaway! The performance will be held at Disney Hall on Sunday, December 6 at 8:00pm and we want you to be there.

Some Extra! Extra! details you’ll want to jot down: by entering into this raffle, that makes you eligible to win the next three we’ve got coming down the pike! All we need is your first name, last name, and your email address, and voila – you might just feel like the age of Aquarius is upon us all over again.
