Carole King’s Tapestry: An Evening in Laurel Canyon

This event sends us back to California in the 1960s and 70s as the hippies took over the Sunset Strip. With the house prices too costly in the centre of town, a creative hub emerged in Laurel Canyon; an area overlooking Los Angeles in the Hollywood Hills. Just some of those who took advantage of this cheaper living space included members of The Byrds and The Doors as well as Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Carole King…

In the first half of this concert, you will hear music from the artists listed above as well as many other Laurel Canyon residents during this time.

In the second half, the band will perform in its entirety Carole King’s masterpiece Tapestry. Of all the albums released at this time in the Laurel Canyon community, Tapestry, arguably, sums up this counterculture best. It is a statement of togetherness, love in all its forms, feminism, and endless hope for the future.

Jukebox 1264 is a pop ensemble formed by the Lewes Music Group in 2021. Their themed concerts pay tribute to eras, albums and artists throughout the last 60 years in popular music. So far, the band have paid tribute to the music of Carole King, Billy Joel, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Disco Music.
