TICKET ALERT...

NEW WEST makes a rarer-than-a-blue-moon return to the stage, performing Saturday, January 11, in a 3 pm matinee show at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena; seats will fill-up FAST; reservations, only by phone, are being taken NOW at 626-798-6236.
+
NEW WEST, founded in 1995, remains one of western music's favorite trios, and they spent a decade touring and playing the top festivals in the genre. Then, when leader MICHAEL FLEMING was hired full-time to produce the annual "Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival," it all came to an end. They have played only a handful of times in Southern California in recent years, including a concert set for a packed hall at the 2013 NAMM Show.
+
This dynamic trio from California is all about new and award-winning original Western music. Performing songs that pay tribute to the men and women of the American West, the band features award-winning songwriter MIKE FLEMING, renowned lead guitarist RAUL REYNOSO, and the incredibly talented "he's-played-everywhere-man" DAVE JACKSON on bass.
+
Winner of three "Song of the Year" awards from the Academy of Western Artists and The Western Music Association, and the "Will Rogers Award" for "Best Western Group," NEW WEST has toured as part of the Arts Midwest and APAP touring programs. They’ve been a featured act at the Elko Cowboy Poetry Gathering, the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival, The Strawberry Music Festival in Northern California, and they recently completed a "we're back" four-week tour of Arizona. Over the last 18 years, New West has always held true to their belief that in the end, it’s all about the music. Come hitch your pony to the rail before all the space is gone.

Tix, $20.
