Los Angeles Stick Night
Thursday, December 9, at the Baked Potato, Studio City, California

featuring Bob Culbertson, Don Schiff and Emmett Chapman. Show times 9 PM and 11 PM.

Details

Starting at 9 PM, each soloist takes the stage for one song, and so on through the evening in round robin fashion, with a break between shows at 10:30. As with our last show in September, this will be a variety show of styles and genres, the common factor being The Stick itself in solo (plus a few inspired duos).

My daughter Diana Lang will once again light up the evening as M.C., introducing each performer and each song with a colorful, historical perspective.

The Baked Potato is located in the Cahuenga Pass, connecting the San Fernando Valley with Hollywood. This famous 30-year-old nightclub provides the L.A. area with jazz and innovative music of every genre (and with stuffed baked potato dinners of every persuasion).

The address is:

3787 Cahuenga Boulevard West, Studio City, CA 91604
