The Reals will be presenting their show Laurel Canyon at Rhumbelow Tina’s in
Kloof from August 2 to 4, 2019. Enjoy iconic hits from artists including Joni
Mitchell (Both Sides Now, Woodstock),
Crosby, Stills and Nash, Mamas and the Papas, Rolling Stones, The Byrds, The
Eagles, Jackson Browne and Carole King.
Laurel Canyon is one of rock's most mythic
neighbourhoods. It wasn't much to look at. A few modest bungalows and log
cabins crammed between an occasional faded mansion that had been left over from
the days when it was a secluded, semi-rural retreat for Hollywood's
silent-movie stars. And yet, from the quiet of the densely wooded canyon came a
music revolution that would change popular culture.
This is where Crosby, Stills, Nash and
Young first folded their voices into one beautiful harmony; where Zappa
welcomed artists including Hendrix and Mick Jagger to parties at his infamous
'Log Cabin' in 1968. Laurel Canyon was the inspiration for the Doors' Love Street, the Mamas and the Papas’ Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the
Canyon)' CSNY's Our House and an
entire album by British blues legend John Mayall. It's where music business legends
David Geffen, Jac Holtzman and Elliot Roberts helped build the recording
careers of the singer-songwriters who defined the very essence of the 60s
California sound.
In his review for artSMart when the show
ran at Rhumbelow Durban at the end of 2015, Keith Millar noted: “Highly
enjoyable supper theatre production pays homage to a unique and golden period
in musical history” and “Durban’s fabulously talented and hugely experienced
group, The Reals, bring this marvellous music to life in a performance out of
the top-drawer”. See full review at http://news.artsmart.co.za/2015/12/laurel-canyon.html
