We are on the top the hill in Eagle Rock. Plenty of street parking on Kipling east of the house, but be prepared to walk up the hill to the house. We are super thrilled to have Dave play this intimate venue with rising star Candi Jenkins.Dave Alvin, a Grammy Award winning songwriter, singer, producer and self described barroom guitarist, is considered by many to be one of the pivotal pioneers of Americana. A fourth generation Californian, Alvin grew up in the town of Downey and got his musical education by listening to late night border radio stations, watching his older cousins play guitar and banjo, collecting dusty, rare 78s, and sneaking underage into bars like the Ash Grove with his brother Phil to see their legendary blues heroes perform live and learn from them first hand.Since forming the highly influential Roots Rock/R+B band The Blasters, with his brother in 1979, and through his long, critically acclaimed solo career after he left the group in1986, Dave Alvin has mixed his varied musical and literary influences into his own unique, updated version of traditional American music, with highlights including songs like “Fourth of July”, “Long White Cadillac”, “King of California”, “Harlan County Line” and “Marie Marie”. Combining blues, folk, rockabilly, Bakersfield country, surf and garage rock and roll with lyrical inspiration from writers like Raymond Chandler and John Steinbeck, Alvin says his songs are “like California...a big, messy, melting pot”. Alvin has recorded with such diverse artists as Bobby Rush, Tom Waits, John Mellencamp, Little Milton, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Dick Dale, Carolyn Wonderland, X and The Knitters, while his songs have been recorded by performers like Los Lobos, Dwight Yoakam, James McMurtry, Buckwheat Zydeco, Joe Ely, Marshall Crenshaw, Shakin' Stevens, Tom Russell and Nanci Griffith. His music has well also been featured in various movies/TV shows including The Sopranos, Justified, Girls, Crybaby, Dusk To Dawn, The Wire and True Blood.Special projects include Alvin reuniting with his brother Phil for two blues albums including the Grammy nominated Common Ground, a double album, From An Old Guitar, of twenty years of rare and unreleased solo tracks, four albums with his Psych/Rock/Improvisational super group, The Third Mind, and two albums with beloved Texas Flatlander Jimmie Dale Gilmore including their 2024 release TexCali.Recent achievements include the 2022 release of his book New Highway: Selected Lyrics, Poems, Prose, Essays, Eulogies and Blues, and in 2023 he was honored with The Chris Strachwitz Legacy Award from The Arhoolie Foundation for his lifetime commitment to American Roots Music, and in 2024 he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Americana Music Association.Dave can usually be found somewhere with his band, The Guilty Ones, performing in a barroom, or scribbling notes for his memoir in his journal while on some interstate highway headed to his next gig.CANDI JENKINS is an up-and-coming roots artist making a name for herself with classic yet modern songwriting that blends traditional country, Appalachian bluegrass, and Americana. As Candi puts it, “I couldn’t find the type of country I wanted to hear, so I started making it myself.”With a father from Canada and a mother from Southeastern Kentucky, Candi didn’t know exactly where her place was in the world. It wasn’t until the pandemic that she moved closer to family in Kentucky that Candi found a deeper connection to her mother’s Appalachian heritage, saying, “Appalachian music is in my blood in a way that is beyond surroundings. It is a part of me.” She explores that connection in her song “God Don’t Care.”Candi has quickly built momentum on the road, opening for acts like Clay Street Unit and Andy Frasco, with upcoming shows alongside Benjamin Tod. She appeared at South by Southwest in 2025 and Luck Reunion in 2026 — the renowned roots gathering hosted on Willie Nelson’s ranch outside Austin that has become known for spotlighting emerging Americana and country artists.Currently, Candi is recording her debut album with Andrija Tokic at The Bomb Shelter. New music from the record is set to release this summer.With a growing social media presence, prolific songwriting, and magnetic live performances, Candi Jenkins is steadily building a loyal fanbase and emerging as a fresh voice in modern roots music. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/los-angeles/wild-honey-presents-dave-alvin-with-special-guest-candi-jenkins/100001995407371162 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Music, Entertainment, Art, literary-art, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Wild Honey Foundation Backyard Amphitheatre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35, max: 50, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Los Angeles - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Wild Honey Foundation Backyard Amphitheatre - **lat**: 34.1392189 - **long**: -118.1914419 - **full address**: Wild Honey Foundation Backyard Amphitheatre, 1167 Kipling Avenue, Los Angeles, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Wild Honey Presents: Dave Alvin with Special Guest Candi Jenkins - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/57bdee47925f8cecf58f93df1807bb9a0508c245a93c31398b3c2d224dcd0f67-rimg-w1200-h1712-dc040503-gmir.jpg?v=1785132254 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Wild Honey Presents: Dave Alvin with Special Guest Candi Jenkins being held? - **A:** Wild Honey Presents: Dave Alvin with Special Guest Candi Jenkins takes place on Sun, 13 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Sun, 13 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Wild Honey Foundation Backyard Amphitheatre, 1167 Kipling Avenue, Los Angeles, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Wild Honey Presents: Dave Alvin with Special Guest Candi Jenkins? - **A:** Wild Honey Presents: Dave Alvin with Special Guest Candi Jenkins is organized by Wild Honey Foundation. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

In the fall of 1994, Wild Honey, fueled by its core team of friends: Rock, David Jenkins, and Andrew Sandoval, became a sensation when Brian Wilson delivered a super rare solo band performance Wild Honey’s second annual Wilson Celebration at the 200 seat Morgan-Wixson Theatre in Santa Monica. Big Star/Box Tops legend Alex Chilton joined the fun and funds were raised for Sweet Relief and their effort help ailing musicians. From 1994 to 2003, Wild Honey produced shows featuring the music of the Kinks, Everly Brothers, the Hollies, Pete Townshend, Harry Nilsson, Elvis Costello, and even solo music by Paul McCartney.. More funds were raised for Sweet Relief, gun control, music in the schools, cancer research, and much more. A musical family was built during these years and many of the same performers have gone on to become the core of the ensemble now known as the Wild Honey Orchestra.Following devastating cancer death of Wild Honey supporter and sometime collaborator Greg Dwinnell, Wild Honey went on an extended hiatus from 2003 until 2013. The birth of Wild Honey driving force Paul Rock’s first and only son Jacob in 2004 took him away from Wild Honey and into unchartered territory: learning how to become a parent of a boy with severe, non-verbal autism. In 2013, however, Paul brought back Wild Honey to raise funds for Jacob’s participation in the Autism Think Tank, an organization that provides online medical conferences with elite autism specialists from all disciplines. The subsequent sold-out Beatles of Sgt Pepper and Rubber Soul Show raise enough funds for 4 kids to participate in the Autism Think Tank and Wild Honey was back!Eventually settling in the Alex Theatre in 2015, Wild Honey produced 2 more sold-out Beatles events, a tribute to Big Star Third, Beach Boys 1967-1977, the Band, Buffalo Springfield, a second Kinks show, and our smash hit Lovin’ Spoonful show in February of 2020, just 2 weeks before the global covid shutdown, that featured the first reunion of surviving founders John Sebastian, Steve Boone, and Joe Butler. Through these second wave of shows, Wild Honey raised over 200,000 for the Autism Think Tank and other autism groups. Through the years, Wild Honey’s guest performers have included: John Sebastian, Steve Boone, Joe Butler of the Lovin’ Spoonful, Brian Wilson, Dave Davies, Richie Furay, Garth Hudson, Jackson Browne, Carlene Carter, Alex Chilton, the Bangles, Beach Boy Al Jardine, Micky Dolenz, Mike Mills (R.E.M.), Lenny Kaye, Al Stewart, Denny Laine, Tony Asher, Dave Gregory of XTC, Danny Hutton, Terry Reid, Chuck Negron, Matthew Sweet, Colin Hay, Dan Wilson, Dave Alvin, Jody Stephens (Big Star), the Continental Drifters, P.F. Sloan, Jon Brion, Peter Case, the Plimsouls, Victoria Williams, the Williams Brothers, Dave Alvin, the Blue Shadows, Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, Scott Miller (the Loud Family), Ann Magnuson, and many others.From 2014 onward, Wild Honey has also produced an ongoing series of backyard shows that feature many of the big show performers doing their original music, including Al Stewart, Dan Wilson, The Mekons, Melanie, members of the Bangles, and many others. Wild Honey has also begun streaming live music from its new soundproof garage studio over the past few years. As the Wild Honey Family grows we are always seeking new ways to showcase our team of amazing performers. At the same time, Wild Honey has created the George Bailey Relief fund to aid our family members in financial distress, especially in the wake of the hardships associated with the covid epidemic. Through online fundraising, Wild Honey has donated nearly $100,000 to help members of its extended musical community. This effort is ongoing and desperately needed for Wild Honey to continue.Wild Honey has also undertaken its own autism music initiative after Wild Honey’s inspiration Jacob Rock, now 20, acquired the ability to type out his thoughts and feelings and revealed that he had created UNFORGETTABLE SUNRISE, a full-blown 70-minute symphony in his head. Working from Jacob’s vivid description of the instruments, tone, and autobiographical themes, Wild Honey musical director Rob Laufer created a musical soundscape to match Jacob’s detailed vision. With help from 55 players from the USC Thornton School of Music and conductor Daniel Newman-Lessler, Wild Honey brought Sunrise to a 1000 folks at the Alex Theatre in Glendale on Sept 30.th Jacob was thrilled by the amazing live performance that matched his initial vision. The subsequent LA Times feature story and review confirmed the brilliance of the piece and sparked interest from across the globe, including the possibility of turning Jacob’s story into a Hollywood feature film. Wild Honey hopes to create a program for other Wild Honey musicians to follow in Rob’s footsteps and work with other non-verbal kids with their own musical visions inside their heads. This is the future of Wild Honey: showing the world the power of music to heal and unite people with autism and the music community.Paul Rock/Wild Honey Foundation1167 Kipling AveLos Angeles, CA, 90041Email-wildhoneyfoundation@yahoo.comWildhoneyfoundation.comInstagram PaulRock1958, UnforgettableSunrise2024Wild Foundation Group on facebook323-255-8839 landline323-273-1570" } ] } ] ```
