Friday Night Sessions @ California Plaza
Free concerts return to California Plaza in Downtown Los Angeles on the 2nd Friday of every month. The program includes performances by local emerging indie bands. The concert series is a collaborative effort by lafreebee, Isgoodmusic, SideCho Records, Dramaturgy Promotions, Casa Downtown, Grand Performances and the artists themselves.
Rolando Marin of lafreebee describes the event as an opportunity to see SXSW (South by Southwest) performers with out having to fly to Austin. Catch a show by a future Coachella performer before they make it big. Recently, local bands like the Airborne Toxic Event and Silversun Pickups went from playing small local venues to sold-out arenas worldwide. Indie music is to Los Angeles today what grunge music was to Seattle in the 90’s. There’s an abundance of local talent and its thrilling to see these bands evolve and succeed. Every month, Friday Night Sessions will introduce a new line-up of bands you won’t want to miss.

I have been highly impressed with The Friday Night Sessions at California Plaza. The bands that have been performing there, such as The Monthlies and Darlings of the Day, have been great! Oh, and the venue….wow! Nothing beats listening to music with a glass of wine under the stars surrounded by downtown buildings…
Friday Night Sessions is exposing me to some great local bands. The venue is top notch with the beautiful Downtown skyline all around. I’m so glad this is happening not just once but every month…and for free!
Awesome show! Loved the venue! Keep it coming!
