The Evangenitals return to the Coffee Gallery in Altadena for an intimate night of music in the best lil' listening room in town!

Filling out the band on this glorious night will be vocalist Lisa Dee (Selah Gospel Choir), violinist Andrea Baker (The Moth Mainstage), bassist Cody Farwell (Goodnight Cody), Michael Feldman (Cousin Junebug) on keys, and Robert Shaffer (Ninja Academy) on drums and percussion.

What some folks have said: 

“They seductively blow smoke rings of multi-colored campfire haze right through your musical senses. This is fun, freedom, and freak folk all delivered with a huge capital ‘F’.” (Jeff Perkins, Seattle Pi)

"I hope these underground bohemian diamonds stay true to themselves; they should never be tampered with." (Music News Nashville)

“The female harmonies between Juli Crockett and Lisa Dee are like the Andrews Sisters re-imagined as tragic mermaids… I haven’t heard harmonies ring this good since the Chapin Sisters were on the scene.” (LA Record)

"Transports you back to a time when the music came from front porches and folk gatherings that allowed for the songwriting to take center stage." (Today's Country Magazine)

“We’re talking about alt-country at its finest, but that’s only the start. Influences of Southern rock, cow punk and even a little klezmer pop make a tasty brew.” (Pasadena Weekly)

“Their sound is a chimera of American music, a blend of country, bluegrass, jazz and rock, with soul-fondling lyrics, which might leave your skin wet from dancing and your eyes dripping tears of joy all in the same evening.” (Monterey County Weekly)

Padua Playwrights presents an Arts Common event at MorYork Gallery in Highland Park, involving a live and recorded presentation of the avant-garde theatre piece Jack Benny amid the Clare Graham’s unique creative environment.  Audience members will interact directly with the performers to explore the nature of vanguard aesthetic and how it fits the politics of 2017 in Los Angeles. This will NOT BE a simple question and answer but an avant-garde charette, where audience members from the surrounding community help us craft the ongoing trajectory of the Jack Benny project, their words incorporated directly into future iterations of the performance.

Come and be counted! Lend your voice to the Jack Benny project! Join us for a unique arts common event on Friday, April 27th at MorYork Gallery at 8 PM to celebrate and advance the arts community of Los Angeles. 

The Evangenitals return to Pappy & Harriets, and we're bringing a musical army!!!

I'll be telling a story at "The Otter Story Hour" on Monday January 8th! Come chill out on couches and hear intimate tales of Replays and Resets. 

“Rex McDaniel hosts one of the most comfortable, entertaining, pretentious-free story-telling shows in Los Angeles. The talent of the host and presenters were top-notch and the setting - in a basement, lounging on couches, room for maybe 30 people - allows you to really settle in and enjoy. As opposed to larger theatres or loud coffeehops and bars, TOSH seems to transport you to when and why story-telling was conceived - it’s intimate and personal. I had a blast reading there. It’s nice to read in a show where the audience actually seems to genuinely care and invest.” — Joel Bryant - actor/comedian

Jim Kweskin & Juli Crockett at The Coffee Gallery Backstage

November 25th 2017 :: 7pm-9:15pm :: $20

Jim Kweskin is probably best known as a singer and bandleader, but he also created one of the bedrock guitar styles of the folk revival, adapting the ragtime-blues fingerpicking of artists like Mississippi John Hurt and Pink Anderson to the more complex chords of pop and jazz. Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band was the original "Americana" band, playing everything from classic blues to hillbilly country, ragtime, jazz, and rock 'n' roll. Kweskin has maintained a remarkably consistent musical vision since his jug band days, continuing to explore traditional folk and blues with the sophisticated sensibility of a jazz musician and traditional jazz with the communal simplicity of a folk artist.

Alabama-born Juli Crockett is a bona fide Renaissance woman: singer, songwriter, playwright, theater director, undefeated professional boxer and amateur champion, ordained minister, Doctor of Philosophy, and leader of the alt-country/Avant Americana genre-defying band The Evangenitals, as well as the Crockett Sisters. (They’re the same band – you choose which name you prefer)

The teaming of Jim Kweskin and Juli Crockett is the happy collision of classic and contemporary Americana music. Together, Kweskin and Crockett performances are celebrations of virtuoso musicianship seasoned with humor and exuberance.  

Joined by super mandolin player Daniel Mark (Dustbowl Revival) and bassist Carl Sealove, Jim and Juli have a great time singing both old jazzy, folky favorites mixed in with Juli's original (and occasionally irreverent) compositions. Take a wild ride through history and into the future of folk with Kweskin and Crockett.

HISTORIA is a monthly personal storytelling show at Book Show in Highland Park, Los Angeles.

Join us in Highland Park for true stories about our shadow selves- just in time for Halloween!

The Evangenitals return to the Coffee Gallery in Altadena!

Bob Stane says:  JULI CROCKETT & THE EVANGENITALS will be “the” act on Friday, April 28. The show will begin at 8:00 P.M.  Two sets of 45 to 48 minutes each with a 15 minute intermission.  Show must end by 10:10 P.M. and the room completely cleared by 10:35 P.M. so the employees of the coffee shop, in front, can close and go home.  Not my idea but we have to deal with it. Ticket price is $18. 

The Evangenitals are hitting the road on a Bay Area mini-tour! For more information, visit the Evangenitals website or the Facebook event.
