well conceived, cool venue, nice, more intimate environment than the near-by Hollywood bowl
The 1241-seat outdoor Ford Amphitheatre is set against a backdrop of cypresses and chaparral in the Hollywood Hills. It is relatively intimate: no patron is more than 96 feet away from the stage. Music, dance, film, theatre and family events are presented during the summer months. The Ford Amphitheatre Season is a program of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
"An Evening of Independence: A Celebration of Singers, Songwriters and Music" features some of music's and MySpace's top emerging new artists.
The all-ages festival will start at 5:30pm, and patrons are encouraged to picnic on the grounds of the outdoor amphitheater between 5:30pm and 7:00pm while listening live to some of the most talented independent artists, including John West, Sabrina Taylor, Trevor Davis and Justin Hopkins. The festival will continue at 7:30pm on the main stage with more incredible musicians, including Trevor Hall, Mandi Perkins, Amanda Dumas, Shawn Pander, Venice Maki, Shawn Hlookoff and Julia Othmer.
Koffeehouse Music Productions is dedicated to supporting up-and-coming singer-songwriters by providing artists with intimate performance spaces and bringing together musicians, industry executives, and passionate listeners. While online peer-to-peer and social networks transform the music industry, there is no substitute for the live music experience, which is the only way for the audience to truly absorb the essence of a musician. Koffeehouse understands that the most important network will always be composed of real, live people, especially for the independent artists whose creativity fuels the industry.
Koffeehouse chose The Guitar Center Music Foundation as the recipient of 100% of the net proceeds from the festival because of their common belief that music participation is an essential element in the fabric of an enduring society. The Guitar Center Music Foundation was created to provide funding and resources for music programs across America.
