THIS EDITION is here to give you a leg up on the ticket-buying competition for the HOLLYWOOD BOWL. Tix for all the Bowl concerts of 2018 GO ON SALE SUNDAY, Apr 29, at 10 am.

OPENING NIGHT FOR THE NEW SEASON is June 16th, and tickets for everything happening from that date, through the new season, become available (we'll say it again, Sam) THIS SUNDAY, APRIL 29, at 10 am.

As always, it's a season designed to appeal to divergent tastes.

For starters -- It's the 100th birthday (2018-2019) "Centennial Season" of the house band, the L.A. Phil (Philharmonic). And a recurring theme in the Phil's season is the film scores of JOHN WILLIAMS, including separate nights for individual "STAR WARS" movies.

HERE'S THE FULL SCHEDULE FOR THE NEW SEASON, to help you decide which nights belong on your list, and score the best-seats on your big Sunday buy-a-thon.

We present it in a clean and simple, one-scroll look 'n see; the official site requires more foolin' around to see it all. You're welcome.

The venue wants us to say "There's something for everyone at the Hollywood Bowl this summer." We'll let the season schedule speak for itself.

The world-famous Hollywood Bowl has seen many evolutions since its signature half-shell sprouted big balls, then lost 'em, and now is marred by a pair of fat, curved vertical lines that are massive racks of speakers. It's always been about trying to improve on acoustics that were already extraordinary, and as far we're concerned, the original architecture simply cries-out to be left alone. Alas, we are in an overamplified age, from emphatically yelling cable "news" hosts (we're talkin' about you, Chris Matthews), to "dance clubs" where chest-rattling, ear-splitting zapping sounds like a thousand people are being electrocuted all at once. So it seems sadly unrealistic in our time to expect the Hollywood Bowl would magically escape.

The Hollywood Bowl is tucked into a little canyon just off the 101 Hollywood Freeway in Cahuenga Pass, at 2301 N Highland Av, Hollywood.

♪ The ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC GUIDE endeavors to bring you NEWS – and views of interest to artists everywhere – more specifically to musicians and the creative community and music makers and fans of acoustic and Folk-Americana music. That includes both traditional and innovative forms. From the deepest roots to today’s acoustic renaissance, that’s our beat. We provide a wealth of resources, including a HUGE catalog of acoustic-friendly venues (now undergoing a major update), and inside info on FESTIVALS and select performances in Southern California in venues from the monumentally large to the intimately small and cozy. We cover workshops, conferences, and other events for artists and folks in the music industry, and all kinds o’ things in the world of acoustic and Americana and accessible classical music. From washtub bass to musical spoons to oboe to viola to banjo to squeezebox, from Djangostyle to new-fangled-old-time string band music, from sweet Cajun fiddle to bluegrass and pre-bluegrass Appalachian mountain music to all the swamp water roots of the blues and the bright lights of where the music is headed now.
