DISCOGRAPHY

TITLE: Live in L.A.   ARTIST: Ken Dunn
RELEASE DATE: February 1, 2019  LABEL: Trespass Music

DESCRIPTION:  "Live in L.A." came together almost by accident. After attending Far-West in Los Angeles, I got a gig at Kulak’s Woodshed in North Hollywood. An impromptu partnership with LA Family Housing resulted in a benefit concert for those struggling with homelessness in the greater Los Angeles area. With the support of Sandy Jacobson at Backstage: Los Angeles on LA talk radio, the stage was set.

There, on the edge of Laurel Canyon, with the taste of smoke still drifting in from the remnants of the Malibu fire, Paul Kulak and his crew did a great job recording this live concert before a  small, but enthusiastic audience at his fabled establishment.

My wish is that you enjoy it in the spirit that it was given and consider supporting LA Family Housing (www.lafh.org) and/or efforts to reduce homelessness in your own community.

TRACK LIST:

1.   Shifting Sand (Live) 5:00
2.   Lifestream (Live) 4:22
3.   Tahlequah (Live) 5:41
4.   Heart of Mine (Live) 4:36
