THE SINGER AND THE SONGWRITER

Thu Tran and Rachel Garcia are The Singer and The Songwriter

 

The Singer and The Songwriter are returning to the letter show, Wednesday Oct 15th at the LA Storytelling Festival.

TheEastsiderLA.com writes: “Tran’s […] colorful playing style paired wonderfully with the dramatic and soulful voice of his partner in crime. It was clear that underneath Garcia’s cafe-jazz voice lay a rich, billowing and powerful vocal onslaught. This duo’s set of original material did clearly mine the annals of Gypsy Jazz (as well as ‘60s folk) for inspiration. However, The Singer and The Songwriter are a Los Angeles original.”

The Archie Letters!

Greg Veneklasen returns to To Whom It May Concern Saturday August 2nd with more of the Archie Letters. Greg’s Great Great Grandfather Archie Lee Harris was a civil engineer living in the wilds of Arizona in 1910. Archie was a prolific letter writer, writing almost daily to his betrothed on Catalina Island. Archie was involved in water reclamation and wrote of his trials traversing the Arizona landscape, his thoughts on Arizona’s ratification of the constitution and his dismay at  missing necessary dental procedures due to widespread thefts of the gold used by dentists at the time! Don’t miss this gentle and insightful glimpse into history.
