Tuesday Events, June 12, 2012, Acoustic Americana Music Guide

. .
Here’s a quick single-day update, today / tonight ONLY, with additional events added since the last complete edition. This edition covers ONLY events happening on Tuesday, June 12, and it’s EVERYTHING we know that’s happening tonight on Southern Cal’s acoustic and Americana scene. (Yes, it includes what was in the Guide’s latest complete edition for today.)

But something else is IMPORTANT…

More FESTIVALS than you knew existed in the world are coming this weekend, and some start as early as Thursday. You’ll want to make plans! See the complete, June 8, edition of the Guide for comprehensive coverage of all that – and a lot more, through the summer and waaaay into the future. (Is it possible? Yes, we will have even MORE for you in the next complete edition…)

Released on February 4th, 1977, “Rumours” became one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, and made Fleetwood Mac a household name.
+
It's now the 35th Anniversary of the album release, and Ken Caillat's new book “MAKING RUMOURS: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album” tells the story from his perspective, of what really went into the making of this legendary album that was to become one of the biggest selling and most influential rock albums of all time. The book takes readers behind the scenes in the Sausalito recording studio and documents the making of what would come to be 1977's GRAMMY “Album of the Year.”
+
Ken recalls experiences from an era of excess that included endless partying, relationship dramas and creative struggles, while writing and recording classic tracks like "You Make Loving Fun," "Don't Stop," "Go Your Own Way," "The Chain," among others. Hear Caillat in discussion, along with GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares Vice President SCOTT GOLDMAN as moderator, talk about the making of both the album and the book. Following the interview he will take questions from the audience and will sign copies of his book.

+
Acclaimed Nashville singer-songwriter Amelia White is touring her fifth studio album, “Beautiful and Wild.” Filled with tales of loss and hope, demons and saints, and the lure of star-crossed love, it is one of the most personal for White, as the title track was written for her longtime friend and famed songwriter, the late DUANE JARVIS.
+
White states, "The songs on ‘Beautiful and Wild’ touch on everything from losing a close friend to an untimely death, to being lost and heartbroken on the road, and praying to the must to save your soul from darkness. The songs were written in that nether-light between dark and dawn, when the ghosts watch you from the window."
+
This singer-songwriter has been described as “a cross between Lucinda Williams and Ryan Adams.” More at www.ameliawhite.com.
+
Venue has full bar and you can order dinner or a al cart items brought-up from the restaurant downstairs. $8 cover.
