Tune In and Turn On to Donna Loren at Kulak’s

While I was working on my autobiography the thought occurred to me, “why not take a walk down memory lane in song?” So I’ve put together a one-woman show with a great back-up band led by an excellent keyboardist, Jamieson Trotter. We will do our best to replicate songs I performed in the Sixties such as Call Me and Wishin’ and Hopin’. For example, on my 1962 release, Hands Off, we will feature a trombone solo to emulate the record. There will be two acts; the first, a musical narrative and story telling. Then, after JT and the Band play a musical interlude of genre-specific songs selected from the Sixties, I will return for the second act with an intimate account of my latest album plus a few of my personal favorites.

I hope you’ll join us. For those who can’t make it, there will be a live music video webcast beginning at 8pm PST.

“Kulak’s is L.A.’s most alternative place to chat, laugh, listen and generally ‘worship the song’. ‘The musicians might be playing some hole in the wall in North Hollywood’, Kulak says, in his trademark, laconic voice, ‘but they’re being watched in Iceland, in the Malay Archipelago, in Texarkana. We get e-mails from everywhere in the world.’ Understandably, remote viewers log in to check out the lineup, but being in the room, inches away from the performers, is best of all. The Woodshed’s casual ambiance is like a party, except no one is drunk and everyone is friendly. Women and shy people feel at ease when alone. Young and old amble in with dogs, books, guitars. There is no alcohol sold, and in fact, nothing sold — no cover charge, no valet parking, no wait staff, just an honor system for the tea and coffee offered in back. Supported solely by donations and volunteers.” – LAWeekly, Best Acoustic Music Hideaway, 2004
