Dance in this historic place to the legendary Big Band Alumni. If Post 43 runs out of spots, the Post 43 attendant will give you a pass to set on your dashboard viewable through the windshield to park at the Hollywood Heritage across the street." This is a very professional, sharp, finely honed Big Band with many older members, one in his 90's, who were former members of other professional Big Bands like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Les Brown, and Count Basie. They were players who have worked with such artists as FRANK SINATRA, ROD STEWART, ELVIS, and LADY GAGA. Bill Jones and Nancy Osborne are great singers belting out Songs from the American Song Book. Teleporting us to the 30's, 40's, 50's. Added bonus is ordering cocktails at the swanky, art déco bar usually only open to U.S. Veterans. The building is a wonderful Egyptian Moroccan fusion. "It is a Hollywood institution, founded in 1919 by WWI veterans working in the motion picture industry. Its members have included Hollywood luminaries like Clark Gable, Charlton Heston, Mickey Rooney, Gene Autry, Ronald Reagan, Stan Lee and more. Today, Post 43 boasts nearly 1,200 Legion Family members made up of veterans, Sons, and Auxiliary." Big Band Alumni and the American Legion Post #43 Hollywood = 5 stars. There is also Big Band Alumni every Tuesday mornings at the Elk's Lodge 20925 Osborne Street, Canoga Park, CA 91304. Rehearsal and Dance, 11 am - 1 pm where the public is welcome.

Saw them last weekend (November 8, 2025) in Ventura with Bill Jones singing in front of a six-piece…read moregroup (trumpet, trombone, bass, drums, saxophone, and keyboards). They played for about two hours and were absolutely first rate. They played mostly standards including several songs that Sinatra made famous ("Come Fly With Me", "You Make Me Feel So Young", "My Kind of Town (Chicago Is)", and others). The playing was wonderful as were Bill Jones' vocals. Bill Jones even helped with emceeing by introducing other acts. There is nothing to compare with live music and this group epitomizes quality and professionalism. See them; hire them.

Overall, it was a fun night for the kids, but there were a few drawbacks. There was way too much…read moreclown filler -- we honestly thought they were killing time between acts, but then came a 20-minute intermission. A 20-minute intermission is wild, especially when the kids are already getting tired. Concessions were also steep -- $10 for a box of popcorn is not cool. We were expecting a bit more in the show (like a contortionist or trapeze act), which never materialized. The kids still had a great time, but for the ticket price, the overall talent felt a bit uneven. There were several juggling drops, and the marksman needed three tries to hit his target. In short, enjoyable for families with young kids, but expect a lot of filler and some rough edges for the price.

They also do amazing cross-cultural blendings of ethnic music, like Klez-Mex-Ko, which is a term they coined for music they have arranged with Klezmer, Mexican and Korean influences. Highly recommended to check them out for something different.

Fin Peach! Good…read moremusic, great vibes and that secret treasure chest/discover LA/ 818 great life. Kulak's Woodshed is a live music event venue, video recording and private music recording space. It's limited capacity, intimate and thoughtful. Brought to life by Paul Kulak, a local indie thoughtful big in stature and heart man whose love of music, sound and visuals brought this space in to existence at the tail end of the 1990s. A space for musicians to thrive, from grammy winners to new to expressing their gifts. I've passed the Woodshed many times in my 15 years in the SFV, but only recently started to enjoy it including their live webcasts and concerts via Facebook Live. Offering greatness on Laurel Canyon between Magnolia Blvd/Weddington Street, mere steps aways from my favorite local art supply store Carter Sexton. It's in a of creativity, expression and artistic joy. Check out their Mondays, musicians can sign up by 7pm for Singer/Songwriter Open Mic. Mostly supported by Paul's hard work, incredible volunteers and audience donations. It's an all welcoming, all ages, all genres and styles of music space. Beverages, snacks and conversations are all self served. Pet friendly environment, but good to be mindful others especially with allergies. Street parking is your friend, though if you don't mind a stroll parking a little further can be easier especially at night, rideshare or even metro as it's less than half a mile from the nearest station. They do not allow any alcohol, recreational or hard substances inside. It's indie, it's music, it's Kulak's Woodshed.

My kinda place...And YES, they do charge a cover because this place needs money to keep musicians playing and their doors to remain open. It's not a big cover charge so not sure why anyone would complain about supporting local talent...just sayin... Bookmarked this place a while ago and was so happy to check it off my list a few weeks ago when I went to hear "The Eldermen" play here. I loved the decor. A mash up of bar stools, stadium seats, sofa's and a Queen size bed...yes, a queen size bed! Stage is smack dab in the middle with a pretty good view from all surrounding seats. *Snacks, drinks, and restroom are located back of house. *Check the website or insta for events calendar *Street Parking only
