+
About this week's acts...
+
CALE TYSON is a singer and songwriter from Nashville, TN. Born in a small town in Texas, he was raised in Fort Worth, the home of Townes Van Zandt and the place where he first heard the classic country sounds that have inspired and enriched his gentle, melancholy, and undeniably whiskey-soaked sound.
+
No less than Rolling Stone calls him, "Old school, sad-bastard outlaw country for a new generation of excited country fans."
+
THE FAR WEST — Not much needs to be said about this group of five - they have been touring the US for the past year while opening shows for Dave and Phil Alvin & The Guilty Ones. It's become a rarity to see them play a show in Los Angeles, so GOE producers day, "Get your butts off the couch and come see them tear the building down!"
+
JONATHAN TYLER is a blues-rock singer-songwriter who offers a sneak peak of his new album, "Holy Smokes," with the single, “Riverbottom.” The tune was written by the band’s guitarist, Brandon Pinkard. “The first time I heard ‘Riverbottom,’ I knew it was a hit,” Tyler said. “I remember where I was. Brandon and Jordan were making their first 'Rise and Shine' record in a cabin 40 miles outside Dallas. I drove out to record some harmonica on a tune. They played a few of the tracks and ‘Riverbottom’ was one of them. I instantly fell in love with the infectious groove and hooky chorus.”
+
"Holy Smokes" will be released this August. Listen to “Riverbottom” now, at:
+
http://www.americansongwriter.com/2015/06/jonathan-tyler-premiers-new-song-riverbottom/
+
In addition to the live acts, DJ "The Roamer" will be spinning Records on "The Porch" out back. A GOE producer tells us, "Each week while you're hanging on the porch enjoying the sun and sipping on a delicious ice cold beer, you hear the tunes curated from Jocelyn Romo (aka 'The Roamer'). She'll be spinning the real deal on Sunday brining her record collection and a far out and groovy attitude for your listening pleasure."
+
You can "Listen To Her Playlist" whenever you'd like, at:
+
www.thegrandoleecho.com/playlist-1/
+
No cover before 6 pm, $5 thereafter. All ages. Venue has full bar and sometimes food.

Sun, Jun 28; through Sep 26, in Topanga:
3:30 pm “AS YOU LIKE IT” re-sets Shakespeare to the American Civil War, at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N Topanga Canyon Bl, Topanga, midway between Malibu and the San Fernando Valley.
+
Note, “the rebel camp is alive with music — banjo, guitar, ukulele, mandolin and more.”
+
In this production of “As You Like It,” director ELLEN GEER moves the tale of two sets of brothers — one alienated by ambition, the other estranged by envy — to the divided South of the post-Civil War era, adding traditional American folk music and dance from the period. Rosalind is forced to flee camp when her uncle Frederick, usurper of his brother’s position as a general in the Union army, threatens to have her killed. Accompanied by her cousin Celia, Rosalind disguises herself as a man for safety's sake. The disguise comes in handy when she tests the devotion of her noble admirer, Orlando, on the run from his hostile older brother. Meanwhile, the rebel camp is alive with music — banjo, guitar, ukulele, mandolin and more. With Rosalind's wit leading the way, the forces of true love, justice and song eventually triumph.
+
