A marathon concert in support of the L.A. Fire Department Foundation brought together fourteen local acts, with all tickets selling out in just one day. In the first half of the event, Sam Chase delivered a commanding performance, while Sean Hayes and John Elliott impressed with their evocative compositions. Megan Slankard stole the spotlight, closing her setlist with a heartfelt rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's America. Danny Click and his band amped up the energy with a dynamic electric performance, while Shana Morrison delivered soulful renditions of her father's Sometimes We Cry, Sonny Boy Williamson II's Help Me, and Fleetwood Mac's Landslide. Tribute band Petty Theft filled their set with nothing but Tom Petty's biggest hits. In an unexpected highlight, Fantastic Negrito was joined on stage by mandolinist Teo Quale of Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band. It was an absolutely spectacular concert, huge thanks to KC Turner for making it happen!

Два концерта были изначально заявлены у них, в субботу и воскресенье, но второй отменился ближе к дате выступления, как сказали, due to scheduling issues, на самом деле, думаю, просто продажи плохо пошли. Воскресные билеты сделали действительными на субботу, вот зал и заполнили, довольно плотно у сцены. На разогреве Меган Слэнкард с бэндом, играют громкий гитарный рок, не очень понравились, хотя девушка выглядит очень приятно. Вообще жарко и так. Toad the Wet Sprocket — весьма характерные представители колледж-рока, выступают с перерывами аж с 1986-го года, чувствуется в их звучании влияние R.E.M. К настоящему времени, пожалуй, неактуальны уже совсем, и всё же в их рок-номерах, сочетающих гитарную насыщенность и мелодичность, по-прежнему есть интересные моменты. Исполнили много вещей с дисков Fear (1991), Dulcinea (1994) и последнего New Constellation (2013). Довольно симпатично было, хотя второй раз вряд ли пойду на них. Сбросить бы лет двадцать пять возраста и фунтов сто веса, вот тогда бы зашло куда лучше!
