We had to make a change to this Friday June 28 concert. We’ll still be at Ashley Pond with a great free concert that’ll start at 7 p.m. It’s still LA Monitor Night, but our band is quite different. Playing this Friday is the incredible, Parker Millsap Band with Michael Rose featured on stand-up bass. 

Millsap is a young singer-songwriter that’s most likely going to be a big star in the near future. He plays Americana-folk-rock-blues-gospel and reminds me of some of the best of this genre; heroes like Tom Waits, Ray LaMontagne, Ryan Adams, Read More

World War Z

 

World War Z is directed by Marc Foster (Monster’s Ball and Quantum of Solace) and stars primarily Brad Pitt among others.

 

The screenplay (by Mathew Michael Carnahan and Drew Goddard) is based on Max Brooks’ novel and follows the story of a United Nations agent in the aftermath of a worldwide zombie takeover as he tries to answer questions concerning the new plague. We mostly enjoyed the film’s global scale and Brad Pitt’s serious but also funny character. Read More

The group’s soulfully jazzed up rendition of ‘Summertime’ was a particular favorite of the Saturday night crowd that filled the Blue Window Bistro, 813 Central Ave. This is the fourth time The Craig Martin Experience has played the Blue Window Bistro, which offers a full dinner and drink menu during the concerts.
