No Britney Spears will not be performing at The Roxy on December 11. But we did get a little love from a guest blogger named Olivia Giovetti. Thanks for the love Olivia!
Gimme, gimme, gimme - the holidays are all about the gimmes and the givies. But only “Gimme Shelter” at The Roxy givies as much as it gimmes. And with everyone from Mandy Moore to Pete Yorn to Phantom Planet playing this year (the final concert after 16 years), that’s something to be thankful for.
What: Gimme Shelter – a rock show with a purpose. Featuring : Pete Yorn, Mandy Moore, Phantom Planet, Mathew Sweet and others to go unplugged and rock The Roxy. Concert benefits the Spectrum Program (for autistic children) at New Roads School in Santa Monica (a rockin’ independent college prep schoold).
Why: School of Rock didn’t end with Jack Black.
When: Tues. December 11th. 7 p.m.
Where: The Roxy Theatre, 9009 West Sunset Blvd. (310-278-9457)
Hoku, Hawaiin native and daughter of the late, great Don Ho - is ready to bring a taste of the Big Island to the Sunset Strip. We are excited to have her on the stage for the first time!
The whole Roxy crew is saddened that this is officially Van Stone’s last show together, but are excited because we know it’s going to be such a fun show! Dress as a zombie and get free Van Stone merch. What’s not to love about that???
We are so excited to welcome Nico Stai to the Roxy stage for the first time! A word of mouth artist, who’s been coined as “…the new boss†by Flaunt Magazine and compared to the likes of Matt Costa with his “achingly emotional acoustic tunes. Beautiful melodies and all the sensibilities of the purest singer-songwriters” according to Cd Review.com. We’re pretty happy to have him, along with Monster in the Machine, Robert Francis, and ROCKFOUR. Definitely a show to check out! Oh, and he’s kind of cute.
A singer, a self-taught keyboardist, and a prolific songwriter, Angie Stone’s first claim to fame was being the lead vocalist on Vertical Hold’s smooth urban dance track “Seems You’re Much Too Busy.” An R&B Top 40 hit during the summer of 1993, it eventually led to a solo career, and her debut album Black Diamond was issued in 1999 by Arista. In six years, Stone had definitely gained an old-school, autobiographical vibe, exemplified by her hit ballad “No More Rain (In This Cloud),” which has samples from Gladys Knight and the Pips’ “Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye).” Contributors included Lenny Kravitz and former Tribe Called Quest member Ali Shaheed Muhammad as producers, and Stone’s ex-boyfriend D’Angelo as a vocal guest on “Everyday.”

For all you Nascar fans you possibly missed out on the most exciting thing to park in front of The Roxy Theatre.
Jack Daniel’s and Clint Boyer’s 07 Car hit the Sunset Strip making a few stops along the way. Most importantly stopping here where quite a few fans were hanging.
