The Museum of Making Music invites you to join us for an amazing concert event featuring The Pine Mountain Logs. This event is taking place at the Belly Up Tavern on Dec. 8, 2022. Proceeds will support the Museum's educational music programs. The Pine Mountain Logs are, in actuality, the insidious alter egos of the popular Southern California band Venice. Praised for their pitch-perfect harmonies and stunning live shows by superstars like David Crosby, who calls them "the best vocal group in the country and one of the best bands I have ever heard," and Jackson Browne, who calls them "quintessentially Californian," Venice has cultivated quite the reputation, both domestically and internationally, for their brilliant musicianship, remarkable vocal stylings, and lyrics that are intelligent and often laced with wit. But when these talented singers and musicians morph into the Pine Mountain Logs, brothers Mark Lennon (vocals) and Michael Lennon (guitars), and their cousin Kipp Lennon (vocals), along with Mark Harris (bass), Dann Gillen (drums) and Troy Dexter (keys and guitar), take the opportunity to really cut loose, have fun, and create the biggest communal party in town. Their repertoire of high energy classics range from Led Zeppelin to the Jackson Five, Tom Petty, TLC, Aerosmith, Outkast, Steely Dan, Janet Jackson, Doobie Brothers, REM, and Earth Wind & Fire, all reinterpreted with that Venice touch, while clever transitions and unexpected medleys show off a wicked sense of humor. WHEN | Thursday, Dec. 8, 2022 TIME |Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 7:45 p.m. VENUE | Belly Up Tavern ADMISSION | Tickets can be purchased here $30 General Admission VIP experiences available SOCIALS: Follow The Pine Mountain Logs on Facebook| Instagram!
