Listening Room Presents for March of 2020 in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles

in

I put together another great month of original music in my neighborhood of Eagle Rock at Talon Tap and Wine every Thursday night, for the month of March.

As with last month, I’ll be performing a 30 to 35 minute set with my friend Tom Bremer joining me on guitar.

Listening Room Presents is an evening celebrating talented songwriters from the local community in a listing room environment, sharing their unique stories in song.

Each Thursday night, we feature an evening of music with no cover charge, consisiting of two different singer/songwriters from the community as well as a performance from Mike Vitale and Tom Bremer.

We have an absolutely awesome lineup for the month of March, including Geoff Pearlman from #echointhecanyon band, Adam Levy (extensive credits as both a songwriter and guitar wizard on many popular albums including Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me", "Feels Like Home", and "Not Too Late"), Luke Wade (finalist on Season 7 of "The Voice"), Dan Navarro (co-writer of the Pat Benatar hit "We Belong" with David Lowen), Terra Naomi (who built a world wide fan base from her hit on Youtube "Say It's Possible"), as well rising talents Amber Leigh Farris, Anastasia Lynne, and my partner in crime Daniel Blake.

It's a free show, but we ask everyone who attends to support the venue and purchase a drink or two from their extensive collection of craft beer and wine!

Music starts promptly at 8pm and ends at 10pm, ever Thursday night.

We are working diligently at creating a listening space for artists to share their unique music with a quiet and attentive audience.

Younger Days | Mike Vitale and Daniel Blake

YOUNGER DAYS
words and music by Daniel Blake and Mike Vitale

I’m searching in the attic
For something long abandoned for survival
I used to feel ecstatic
When horizons were the frame of your arrival

But nothing seems to stay the same as how we pictured it
People ever changing like the shifting continents
And there’s no sense in fencing in or building walls to save
The emotions we were swimming in
In our younger days

A shoebox full of moments
The memories that made us who we are
We’re smiling in these pictures
The last light from a dying star

Because nothing seems to stay the same as how we pictured it
People ever changing like the shifting continents
And there’s no sense in fencing in or building walls to save
The emotions we were swimming in
In our younger days

I do graphic design—very poorly. Here are two flyers I made, advertising two shows I am playing this month.

This one is for a show in Los Angeles next week on Thursday February 21st 2019 on the western hemisphere of Earth.

This is the part of this post where I continue to regurgitate information off of this flyer.

Show starts at 8pm. No cover.

Playing some muzak I wrote with Marcus Von Rittberg and Daniel Blake. Coincidentally, they will be doing the exact same thing

And then there’s this show on Wednesday February 27th 2019. This one I am playing with a band. A really great band. Frank Reina on drums. Tom Bremer on guitar. Paul Jones on bass.

It’s going to be in Long Beach, which just so happens to be in the same hemisphere as Los Angeles, on planet Earth.

We’ll be playing at The Wine Bar. It’s a bar. They serve wine there. They also host a lot of original music. It’s a great hang. You should swing by if you feel obliged to. No cover.

I’ll be joined by Honest Horse, Alyssandra Nighswonger, and Taylor Crawford, who are all so lovely and so talented, and I’m very thankful to have them playing.

We would be stoked to have you. Music starts at 7pm. The band and I go on at 9pm.
