Fortunate Youth with Katastro and Artikal Sound System 21+ show Doors open at 8:30 Show at 9 p.m. Ticket Price: $27.50 advanced & day of show / $4 reserved loft seating (loft seating is available over the phone) This show has been rescheduled from 4/20/2020. All tickets purchased for that date will be honored. The Bands: Fortunate Youth is a collaboration of South Bay reggae stand-outs. Rising from various bands, they've created a phenomenal 6-piece masterpiece bringing more fire to the stage than ever before. Combining rootsy vibes and unique bass lines united with multiple harmonies, boisterous guitar solos, and heavy keys separates Fortunate Youth from every other mainstream reggae band. With their high energy approach and positive stage presence they provide an unforgettable show to every music fan. Fortunate Youth's objective is to ensure a performance that leaves you feeling euphoric and curious of what might happen at the next show. Tempe, Arizona based, Katastro was formed in 2007 by vocalist, Andy Chaves drummer, Andrew Stravers and guitarist, Tanner Riccio. Later on, bassist Ryan Weddle joined the band to complete the current line up. The band gained notoriety by creatively blending elements of rock, funk, blues and hip hop. Artikal Sound System is a reggae band based out of South Florida. Founded by Chris Montague (guitar) and Fabian Acuña (bass) in 2012, the band honed their chops backing a series of Caribbean singers. Along the way the boys picked up the insane and absurd keys player Christopher Cope and the heavy footed drummer Adam Kampf before finally trying something a little sonically different with their neighbor, female vocalist Logan Rex.

Two of the works, "Unbroken," and "Within the Hourglass Desert," are new pieces premiered this summer by company choreographer Geoff Gonzalez, both set to compositions by influential American composer Philip Glass. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Details: Saturday, Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. The Conrad, 7600 Fay Ave., La Jolla. $39-59. From the organizers: In July, City Ballet returned to the live stage with two sold-out performances of ON THE MOVE. For one night only, City Ballet reprises these two world-premiere ballets by Resident Choreographer Geoff Gonzalez at the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center in La Jolla. Unbroken: A testament to the resiliency of humankind. Within The Hourglass Desert: A piece highlighting the finite beauty of time. Clare de Lune: This ballet reflects Debussy’s use of harmony and texture in a way that recalls the light and color of French Impressionist painting.
