Calabasas Statement Magazine Celebrates Its First Annual Music Issue Lining Up Classic Rock Bands To Revisit Music’s Past and Pay Tribute To Its Future
Los Angeles, CA (August 2005) – Legendary members of Toto, Steve Lukathur, Bobby Kimball and David Paich as well as Heaven & Earth, Howard Leese of Heart, Albert Lee and Ray Parker Jr. will join others to jam at the House of Blues on Sunset and celebrate over 30 years of music. Bringing them together for one night on August 23rd is the Calabasas Statement Magazine Music Party benefiting The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation and celebrating THE MUSIC ISSUE. The night will be hosted by the voice of classic rock, KLOS-FM’s Bob Coburn and joined by other surprise guests.
The event will show off the sounds of many of the hottest voices in music and offer a look back at the roots of the local Los Angeles rock scene as described in THE MUSIC ISSUE. This latest issue also touts original photos and updated interviews with other top artists and bands including Devo, The Knack and Chicago’s James Pankow.
"From rockers to rappers, pianists to percussionists and up-and-comers to top-of-their-gamers, this issue celebrates musicians from virtually every genre and generation under the sun. The quality of the artists in the West Valley area blew us away," says Calabasas Statement Magazine Publisher Richard Bleiweiss. "As you will hear from these artists' performances, the valley can stack up its musical talent against any region in the world and emerge with its head held high."
A portion of the evening's ticket sales will benefit The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, a charity that supports music education and its many benefits through the donation of new and refurbished musical instruments to underserved school and community music programs and individual students nationwide.
Tickets are available through the House of Blues ticket office, (323) 848-5100 or www.hob.com. Doors open on August 23rd at 7:00pm.
