Nota Alta (After Party) with Giselle Peppers Fri, Townhouse Venice Venice Beach gives The Del Monte Speakeasy a close-listening Fri set, where phrasing and detail matter more than scale. The room rewards a patient ear.
Junha Kori Park is a jazz set where the band texture matters as much as the tunes. The Saturday night is more convincing when the band gives the songs a clear shape early.
Townhouse Presents - Rogê Samba do Balde Sun, Townhouse Venice Venice Beach Free puts The Del Monte Speakeasy in singer-songwriter mode on Sun, with direct voice and small-room focus. The first verse carries the setup.
Alex Santilli (aka Anacleto) with Chrisol Wed, Townhouse Venice Venice Beach makes The Del Monte Speakeasy a seated Wed room for writing, phrasing, and quiet attention. The lyric gets the last word.
