Cactus and Canyons: A Tribute to the Sun-Drenched Country-Rock of Laurel CanyonBefore country-rock had a name, it had a place. Laurel Canyon was where folk met electric guitars, country found California, and some of the most enduring songs of a generation took shape. Join us at SPACE for Cactus and Canyons, as we heads west for a night celebrating the music of Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Little Feat, Crosby, Stills, Nash Connor, Chris Merrill (Birds of Chicago), Allegra Malone, Andon Davis and Dave Nelson (Heartsfield), Gerald Dowd, Dan Ingenthron, and John Pirruccello come together to put their own stamp on the music that defined a time, a place, and a sound that never really left us.
