Starring The Beggars, hailed as “the best Australian vocal band since The Seekers”, with international press praising them as “world-class musicians” and calling them a “super Australian band”, with “Renee Donaghy… a genius.”
In the kaleidoscopic swirl of the 1960s, Flower Power bloomed, Peace and Love became the heartbeat of a generation, and a new musical revolution was taking shape.
Just beyond the glittering lights of Hollywood Boulevard and the gritty energy of the Sunset Strip, Laurel Canyon emerged as a sanctuary for dreamers, rebels, poets and musicians. It drew hippies, artists and visionaries from around the world, creating a bohemian melting pot where creativity, collaboration and experimentation flourished.
By the dawn of the 1970s, Laurel Canyon had become a musical Eden — a place where friendships were forged, songs were written, harmonies flourished and a generation of young artists pursued their dreams of musical stardom.
The Canyon was alive with the unforgettable sounds of Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Neil Young, Carole King, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, America, The Byrds and The Doors — artists who helped define an era and, for many, called this magical enclave home.
California Dreamin’ — The Laurel Canyon Story takes you back to the music, the stories and the spirit of an extraordinary time — when the songs were timeless, the harmonies were sublime, and California was where the dreams of a generation came alive
