February 21st, 2024An evening in the Canyon: celebrating that Laurel Canyon sound

Fans of American alternative country music, folk and westcoast harmony are in for a treat as the Palais at Hepburn prepares to host ‘An Evening in the Canyon’ this Saturday night, February 24.

It’s a special celebration of Laurel Canyon’s distinctive brand of Americana that pulls together two world class exponents of the genre in one must-attend concert.

Canyon Dust (formerly just ‘Canyon’ and pictured above) performs originals inspired by the ‘Laurel Canyon – Westcoast’ tradition of the 60’s and 70’s and interprets some of the greatest songs written in this period.

Canyon Dust’s debut album featured their signature four-part harmonies set in songs about deserts, forests, raging water, open highways and broken hearts.

Canyon Dust blends acoustic and electric instruments, at times singing around a single condenser mic in a traditional Bluegrass style.

Canyon Dust will perform a selection of originals and interpretations of Laurel Canyon mainstays alongside their acclaimed renditions of Crosby Stills Nash & Young classics.

Double-heading the bill is J.D. Delves. J.D has dedicated his musical life to Young and there are few better representations to pay homage to Neil Young’s catalogue of truly inspiring music.

J.D has played 1000’s of shows across the decades and he knows how to entertain crowds with his soaring vocals, skilled guitar playing and quick witted humour.

The show is expected to sell quickly.
