Santa Ana Flamenco Guitarist Omar Ávalos will be performing original compositions with Jesse “El More” Moreira accompanying on cajón.

The night’s musical lineup is as follows:

7:20 – 7:40 : Omar Ávalos & Jesse Moreira

7:50 – 8:20 : Taller Sur (An LA-based Latin Alternative group comprised of Willy Ortega of Anaheim, Ruby Castellanos and Alen Hansen of Santa Ana)

8:30 – 8:50 : Joni Renee

9 – 9:30 : Lazy Preacher (Click here to friend them on Facebook)

“Lazy Preacher’s sound on their fourth effort, the conveniently titled 4th & Independent, is tough to pin down. At times, as on opener “The Only Excuse”, they sound like a male fronted Rilo Kiley with all the same lyrical talent. “3 Spaced Out Days” is reminiscent of Modest Mouse’s most tender moments whilst “Hey Now” recalls The Shins. In fact, 4th & Independent resembles an encyclopaedic ‘who’s who’ of American Indie. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Indeed, quite the contrary, as Lazy Preacher succeed in proving on all twelve tracks here. To pique curiousity there are also original covers of Daniel Johnson’s “Silly Love” and Nirvana’s “On A Plain” – well worth a listen or two.”
