On Friday, July 21st, 2017 The Lennon Sisters and Venice headlined the Lennon Family Legacy Concert showcasing many of the talented members of the Lennon Family and celebrating the Lennon Family’s 100 years in Venice, CA.
Thanks to a wonderful friend, I was able to go to the Venice Christmas Concert last night in Santa Monica.
Now as a “nice jewish girl” Christmas carols don’t mean a whole lot to me, but Venice shows are just magical and the Christmas music is no exception. Venice just released a new double album (you can order it here) so the show was a mix of old favorites, new songs, and of course holiday tunes. Here are a few of my favorites:
Cool Me Down (with a holiday twist!)
(This is the song with lyrics I have tattooed on my wrist.)
Bad Timing Song (also with a holiday twist!)
Winter Wonderland (with a special Venice twist to the lyrics!)
An awesome tribute to Virginia Lennon who works so hard to make these concerts happen!
Blue Christmas (It’s Elvis!) (NSFW, hysterical lyrics.)
I put all these Venice posts into the “Reviews and Recommendations” category because I love them and I think you will love them too. If you enjoyed these videos, check out some more of their music. Maybe you’ll find an album or two that you love… Click on the photo below to go to their website.
The band Venice has an “alter ego” band where they perform all cover songs, called The Pine Mountain Logs. They performed a free concert in the park in Playa Vista, CA.
I really encourage you to go to the band’s website and give them a listen, they are truly fantastic! (And if you are wondering why so many band members have the same last name, there is a FAQ on the site that will tell you everything you need to know.) 🙂
