Here's some music from the amazing John Batdorf, who will be playing at our show next Wednesday, 8/18 at 5:30. He is the real deal. This is from long ago and far away:)
This was off the first album, "Off The Shelf" and became and instant "turntable hit" for us and but Batdorf and Rodney on the map. B Mitchell Reed, a progressive DJ here in LA worked for KRLA AM played this like crazy as did DJs all over the country. This was cut in Muscle Shoals Sound in 1971 with Roger Hawkins on drums, Barry Beckett on keys and David Hood on the bass. This album was produced by Atlantic Records President Ahmet Ertegun. This cut was the first and only take we did.

SUMMER CONCERT SERIES CANCELLED
We are disappointed to announce the cancellation of the Music in the Canyon Summer Concert Series. We have listened to the recommendations of our Governor and medical experts, concluding this is the most responsible course of action. Unfortunately, one of the best ways we can work together to address this terrible challenge is to stay physically apart.
We would like to take this moment to thank our partners, volunteers, and sponsors for their support. It is our intent to reschedule each act, contractor, and vendor for next year and we look forward to celebrating with you then.
SPONSORS
Sponsoring our Concert Series is an investment in quality of life for our community, as well as building corporate and brand image. Our Concert Series is by and for the people.
Corporate sponsors are recognized throughout the concert season. We have several levels of sponsorship available, including the opportunity to host an exhibit at our shows. Sponsorships of Music in the Canyon (a 501(C)(3) nonprofit corporation) are tax-deductible as allowed by the U.S. Tax Code.
