Johnny Angel Wendell

Johnny Angel Wendell is the living breathing definition of a "lifer" musician having begun his career 46 years ago in Boston playing loud raucous punk rock. Fast forward to now--after 20 years on LA radio and 15 years as columnist for the LA Weekly--and he's become a funny, sly absurdist acoustic slinger penning anthems about loathing the DMV, sweet n sour love songs, the greatness of James Brown and all points in between.

Music by Jae MeDi

Who is Jaé MeDi? 

The short answer is simple, a man and his guitar from East Los Angeles. 

However, Jaé MeDi is not one thing. People often hear a blend of genres ranging from acoustic, R&b, rock, and hip hop with a catchy pop formula. 

His self titled album “Jaé MeDi” can be found on Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube. No matter the music style, Jaé MeDi’s versatility has manifested into an original sound. 

He doesn’t make music you’ve heard, he makes music that hears you.

'OUTLAWS OF FOLK MUSIC SERIES''

Michael Ubaldini’s critically acclaimed Folk & Roots music series that has been going strong for 10 years. It will now be held & happy to relocate to BOGART'S COFFEE HOUSE every first Thursday of each month.

CBS Los Angeles named it “Best Folk Music show in The OC” in 2017
All ages can enjoy the show and artistic vibe. Outlaws is an ongoing folk music series that was created by the ‘rock n roll poet’ Michael Ubaldini who decided as a songwriter and supporter of musicians to start his own ‘Rebel Brand’ of an Acoustic Folk night.
He calls it 'Outlaws of Folk Music Series’. Michael hand picks some kindred spirit musicians- established recording artists, touring, local singer songwriters & performers from Los Angeles, Orange County & Long Beach to do the night with him. Each artist does a thirty minute set and sometimes a final 'Sing Out' jam at the end of the show together. It’s the real deal.
It’s the held first Thursday of each month. The music and Outlaws Series is spreading. Michael has taken it on the road before and it tours from time to time, but Bogart’s is the new Thursday homebase for the Folk Series in beautiful Seal Beach.

Please support the musicians & songwriters.
Outlaws of Folk brings back the attitude & spirit of NY Greenwich Village folk boom of the early 60s with a modern 21st century twist w/songsters relevant to this era as well as “Old traditional’ Folk.” come hang!

Music by Nick Justice

If Nick Justice’s career has found him lurking below the radar, it’s only because he’s the one that initially put the brakes on. Weaned on the Southern California sound — as represented by the Eagles, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Jackson Browne — he was lured to the Golden State in the late ‘80s and became a journeyman troubador of sorts — busking, paying his dues in various itinerate ensembles and playing for whoever would listen. Eventually he worked his way up to the status of an opening act, serving a support role to number of important outfits — X, the Blasters, the Radiators, INXS, the Del Fuegos and other ‘80s and ‘90s scene-setters.

Justice has a knack for sharing a kind of breezy balladry and while his is a generally unassuming sound, the music is still seeped in sentiment and an easy, affable embrace. Nick Justice is a great storyteller in the true fashion of the traveling Troubador. With 5 previous critically acclaimed solo records and one collaboration with The SideMen, Justice is currently finishing up his 6th solo record titled "Stranger in My Town" produced by folk legend Joel Rafael and a supporting cast of Greg Leisz on pedal steel and dobro (Jackson Browne Band), Mai Leisz on bass (David Crosby Band), and Richard Stekol on guitar (Honk, Funky Kings).

Press and audiences in all of those locations have lauded his chops as powerful and passionate. But he has released his very first solo album, revealing a tender soul with a love of American folk music idioms.

His first self-titled solo CD reveals a strong vocal presence to accompany his guitar chops, stripped down to acoustic tones on this album. Some of the tunes (East Virginia Blues, This Storm Shall Pass Away) draw on traditional blues and folk sensibility to create tracks that give homage to those traditions. Other songs like Arise and Loveshow Feter’s tender side, a vocal approach that is reminiscent of Nick Drake. Meanwhile, Virginiaand the instrumental Morning Fairy are examples of Feter’s guitar abilities.

Feter’s move to Southern California has opened up new avenues for performances and connections and he has taken advantage, settling in to a regular performing schedule. Get your copy of Feter Martin Homerand then go see him live. You will be glad you did both.
