About this event

Event details from Rockola Music

Starring The Beggars, hailed as “the best Australian vocal
band since The Seekers”
, with international press praising them as “world-class
musicians”
and calling them a “super Australian band”, with “Renee
Donaghy… a genius.”

In the kaleidoscopic swirl of the 1960s, Flower Power bloomed, Peace
and Love became the heartbeat of a generation, and a new musical revolution was
taking shape.

Just beyond the glittering lights of Hollywood Boulevard and the gritty
energy of the Sunset Strip, Laurel Canyon emerged as a sanctuary for
dreamers, rebels, poets and musicians. It drew hippies, artists and visionaries
from around the world, creating a bohemian melting pot where creativity,
collaboration and experimentation flourished.

By the dawn of the 1970s, Laurel Canyon had become a musical Eden
— a place where friendships were forged, songs were written, harmonies
flourished and a generation of young artists pursued their dreams of musical
stardom.

The Canyon was alive with the unforgettable sounds of Fleetwood Mac,
The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Neil Young, Carole King,
James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, America, The Byrds and The Doors

— artists who helped define an era and, for many, called this magical enclave
home.

California Dreamin’ — The Laurel Canyon Story takes
you back to the music, the stories and the spirit of an extraordinary time —
when the songs were timeless, the harmonies were sublime, and California was
where the dreams of a generation came alive.
