"The talented musicians from Live at Laurel Canyon are top-notch, and what sets them apart from others is their ability to draw the audience in with the stories behind the incredible music. Our patrons have responded so well with sold out performances that we've already brought them back once and are looking at adding them again to next year's season... I will say that the James Taylor "You've Got A Friend" singalong at the end of the show was the icing on the cake – what a way to end the show, with everyone up on their feet singing and swaying to one of the most poignant songs ever written."

-- Leigh Chandler, Lonetree Arts Center

​

"'Lennon and Nilsson Songs from the Lost Weekend' is a talent filled, expertly crafted, tribute and exploration of two larger than life musical figures. Brian Chartrand weaves narrative throughout the songs that brings meaningful and humorous context to it all. This show is as accessible to those that grew up on Lennon and Nilsson’s music as it is to those that have never heard of them before."

"Tempe was honored to present Live from Laurel Canyon in February 2022. The energy in the room was palpable and the audience was so happy with the memories that are relived with this wonderful interpretation of the greatest folk music of the Laurel Canyon era. We cannot wait to work with Brian and the group again---The way they interact with the audience is warm and welcoming, and their musicianship is superb."

"In the lobby, I received lots of positive feedback, including more than a couple "Thanks for bringing them here" comments. The show produced many smiles in the crowd, revisiting a long list of terrific tunes. It was hard for some to not sing along, which only added to the good vibes provided by you and company. Best of luck with all your shows, with much appreciation for keeping alive (and introducing to new generations) so many great songs and artists."

It’s a terrific show!”

"Opening our seventh season of Guitar Masters, we thought it would be a welcome change to invite Live From Laurel Canyon for a show – at the world-famous Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace, no less!  The music and stories brought back so many memories from the more than 400 fans that night.  Above that, the band could not have been more pleasant and accommodating.  True professionals who know their audience and definitely know how to please!  Looking forward to hosting LfLC again in the future.”
