It's A Grind * This Saturday

See? It really IS a grind! A play on words - yes, yes - but a real brick and mortar establishment too. A cool coffee house (is that an oxymoron?) with even cooler live entertainment. Especially this next Saturday night, April 24th! Mark your calendars all you local friends! This is where you and your families are gonna wanna hang out for sure!

Our local It's A Grind Coffee House just north of Valencia in the town of Castaic, will be featuring TWO of our all time favorite bands EVER, and also a very talented young solo singer near and dear to us as well! The music fest goes from 8:00 to 10:00 and if you ask me, that's a lot of awesome entertainment. It's a serious three-fer people!

PRIMROSE GARDENS will be one of the bands performing. Consisting of founding member Johnny Walker and accompanied by Darryl Mardirossian on bass guitar and vocals. They are joined by their sons Evan Mardirossian on drums and percussion, and Davy Walker on guitar and vocals. All songs performed are original songs of John's from his CD entitled Primrose Gardens, as well as new songs he's currently been working on for an upcoming CD. Talented, rocking guys, all. Our house wouldn't be near as fun on Wednesday nights without them practicing.

(subliminal message: Johnny Walker is on Facebook as Primrose Gardens. The poor guy has no clue. Look him up and friend him) 

DAVY'S BAND (still no name) is the other band performing. I shouldn't pick favorites but it's my blog so I can do what I want. I love Davy's band. I adore Davy's band. Davy Walker on Guitar, Mandolin and vocals. Jimmy Melnarik on bass guitar. Amelia Shelton on violin and vocals. And Henry Webster on violin. All such talented and awesome young adults. All songs performed are Davy's original songs. He writes the best lyrics and melodies and arrangements on earth. Hey, I'm just tellin it like it is. I love the combination of all the instruments. And Amelia's and Henry's violins never fail to lift Davy's songs to a higher place, and take me right along with them. 

I've known RILEY LYON since the day she was born! This hip & cool guitar player has not only grown into a fun, smart, beautiful young lady, but she has the most natural talent of a young singer/songwriter I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I don't say that lightly either. There are countless talented people in the world, but the majority of them have to learn it. With Riley, it just comes naturally. It's part of her DNA. She can take others' songs and make them into unique versions of her own, and she can write her own songs just as easily. I know that the future holds a lot in store for Riley and I am excited to see what's around each and every corner for her.

Don't miss such a fun-filled evening! Come support all these talented singers! :)
And be on time or you really WILL miss them! :0
