All concert attendees must be vaccinated and face masks must be worn inside. Singer-songwriter and folk musician, Joel Rafael, has been writing and performing for over fifty years. In the early 1980s, he found a niche in San Diego County as an opener for nationally touring acts for several local promoters, which allowed him to grow as a performer of his own original songs. He recorded his first album in 1981. Joel has performed for many years at the annual Woody Guthrie Festival, has released two albums of all Woody Guthrie songs, and has toured the country as part of a road show of songwriters dedicated to presenting Woody Guthrie through his songs and prose. He also performed several tribute concerts around the country presented by the Woody Guthrie Archives in partnership with the Grammy Museum. The most notable, the final 2012 show at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., was filmed for television. In addition to his two albums of Woody Guthrie tunes, Joel has released eight albums of his original songs. His most recent, in 2019, is Rose Avenue. This work gracefully defines him and his contribution to the American canon. The ten-song masterpiece includes nine originals that reflect the honest accounting of a man in his 70th year, with a lifetime’s insight into the songs he writes, as well as a full measure of gratitude for what has been, and what lies ahead. Dana Cooper moved to Los Angeles at age twenty with a record deal with Elektra Records, where he recorded his first album with members of “The Section” Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar. This album still wins accolades today. After several years in California and a year recording in Seattle, he moved to Texas and then Nashville to pursue his songwriting career collaborating with other songwriters. His years as a troubadour are measured by his impressive 28 albums and numerous awards. Touring behind his new CD I Can Face the Truth, he confronts hard truths head on with humor and heartfelt expression.
