The repertoire
Every night draws from songs written within a few winding miles of Laurel Canyon Boulevard. This is the songbook the show interprets — artist by artist, from the first Byrds jangle to the Eagles at full flight.
Where the canyon story starts — the harmonies that pulled a generation west.
The first canyon settlers, and the jangle that invented folk rock.
Stephen Stills and Neil Young's first collision — protest and promise.
The canyon's darker corner, from a rehearsal space just off the Boulevard.
Three-part harmony born in a Laurel Canyon living room.
The loner on the ridge — the canyon's restless conscience.
Lookout Mountain's poet laureate — the songbook's beating heart.
The gentle voice that carried canyon songwriting to the world.
From the Brill Building to Wonderland Avenue — Tapestry changed everything.
The kid in the Echo Park basement who wrote the road itself.
The voice of the Troubadour — and the band that became the Eagles.
Canyon harmony's second wave — sunshine with a shadow.
Where the California sound went stadium-sized.
