David Boswell-Alvas Showroom
2019-07-28 16:00 | Alvas Showroom, 1417 W. Eighth Street, San Pedro, CA, 90732, United States
“A guitar innovator, a brilliant virtuoso, David has long had a musical vision of his own, and he has developed into a significant composer. While the music on Windows can be called modern jazz and at times shows the influence of Pat Metheny (who made a strong impact on Boswell in his early days), the results are quite original and beyond simple classification as anything but creative music. Often cinematic, the playing is lyrical and melodic, and the performances are unpredictable, surprising, and filled with rich melodies and colorful ensembles. His music has often been heard on smooth jazz radio stations, yet it really is beyond description, fusing together his previous musical experiences with his own fresh ideas to form a new type of 21st century jazz.” ~ Scott Yanow – Jazz Historian/Journalist/Author of The Great Jazz Guitarists: The Ultimate Guide
“Boswell brings chops, class and style.” Guitar Player Magazine
Currently, David is in the studio recording music for his sixth record which is being co- produced by Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets, Jeff Lorber Fusion) and will feature Scott Kinsey, MB Gordy, Otmaro Ruiz, Gary Novack, Mitchell Forman, and Andy Snitzer with Haslip on bass. It will be released in 2019. Boswell is also recording additional singles for his Singles Project.

Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble-Alvas Showroom
2019-07-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Alvas Showroom, 1417 W. Eighth Street, San Pedro, CA, 90732, United States
Alvas Showroom is extremely pleased and excited to be hosting Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble, one of the great Creole artists to come out of southwest Louisiana since the famed Clifton Chenier mainstreamed Zydeco in the 1980’s. He is a native of Grand Couteau, Louisiana, a town nestled in the prairies and bayous rich with Creole music and culture. Taylor has released five CD’s, making him one of the most prolific artists from the region. He has toured with the world-renowned Clifton Chenier, Geno Delafose, CC Adcock, Steve Riley, and many other names in the genre. Taylor brings the steaminess of the bayous and the grittiness of New Orleans together in a uniquely infectious, bluesy style of hard-driving, upbeat Nouveau Zydeco, you’ll remember for a lifetime. Come join the crowd at Alvas, as Curley brings his BIG, high-energy rollicking sound that is guaranteed to bring down the house. Dancer or not, you’re going to love this show.
“I make Feel Good Zydeco Soul Music for the masses of people,” Taylor says. When asked what makes him keep up with his grueling 200 gigs a year tour schedule, he smiles. “I continue playing and touring because I enjoy what I do-and that’s spreading love and happiness through music. I want to keep growing the brand, and I’m proud to be a Country Boy from Louisiana!”
Since this is dance music, we’re opening up the dance floor for this event! As a special treat for Alvas patrons, Zydeco dance instructor, Karen Redding, will be providing a short dance lesson at 3:30 PM so everyone can get in on the fun! She has taught dance at the Los Angeles Music Center, the Ford, and the Irvine Barclay Theater, as well as all the Southern California Zydeco festivals for the past 20 years. Redding is one of the finest Zydeco dance instructors outside Louisiana and she is offering a one time only special price of only $5 per person for the lesson to Alvas’ patrons, payable in cash at the door.
Feel free to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages with you. In keeping with true Louisiana style, share the par-taay! Bring your friends and family! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

EDGE TO EDGE 2-The Lofts
2019-07-14 12:00 - 15:00 | The Loft, 401 S Mesa St, San Pedro, CA, 90731
Opening Reception:
Venice Institute of Contemporary Art
As a continuation of our study of the effect of innumerable geographical, political, idealogical and physical borders on various peoples, we present Edge to Edge 2, a survey of art happening now in Mexico and Southern California. Curated by Juri Koll of ViCA and Pablo Llana from Mexico, all of the works from Mexico are exhibiting for the first time here, and most, if not all, of the artists from each respective geographic region have not shown together before.
In order to effect a true conversation, works have been chosen without regard to theme or representation of borders per se. Some may comment on it peripherally, perhaps, but that is not the theme – in an of itself – of this exhibition. Open conversation requires respect, honesty, and due consideration in order to achieve benefit. That’s partly what this exhibition is about.
Artists in this show include César Bernal. Anonymous Boh, MB Boissonnault, Cosimo Cavallaro, Antonio Chaurand, Sulamit Elizondo, Tania Esponda, Juri Koll, Pablo Llana, Ramiro Martinez Plasencia, Jorge Moedano, Diego Narvaez, Robert Nelson, Paola Pineda, Jorge Pinzon, Ulises Platas, Erika Rascon, Catherine Ruane, Sonja Schenk, Nizzac Vallejo, Gustavo Villegas, Ádrian White and others TBA.
The exhibition travels to Mexico following its premiere in the U.S..
