At Mamma's Brick Oven, 1007 Fair Oaks Ave in South Pas. 6:00 doors; 7:00 music. Tickets $23 advance, $26 at the door ($25 cash).

Known for his intimate tenor, signature guitar style and moody melodies, Los Angeles-based Shane Alexander has shaped a distinctive career for himself with his evocative indie folk and acoustic rock. Having toured extensively in the U.S., Europe and Canada since 2005, the fiercely independent artist has developed a loyal international fanbase. His smooth vocal style has drawn comparisons to Jeff Buckley, Jackson Browne and Art Garfunkel. In addition to his own releases, he can often be found producing other acts at his Westlake Village recording studio.

We'll also have with us a very special guest act that I won't announce due to a contractural restriction with another SoCal venue. Trust me, you won't want to miss this show!
