Performances

Upcoming Performances.

Desert Song is dedicated to debunking the myth that denizens of the High Desert have to go "down the hill" to LA to hear good music. They invite Antelope Valley dwellers to take a Sunday afternoon off from the to-do list that builds up during the week-day commute to relax and refresh themselves with the healing properties of music. And they don't mind if friends from "Down Below" decide to come up the hill to listen to something just a little bit different!
Please Note: House Concerts at the Slater-Lunsford Pavilion are FREE, but please reserve your seat by donating $20 in advance via the web site for the artists’ expenses.  You can also contact me via e-mail for details and arrangements.
