The popular Concerts on the Green music series, presented by Cambria Estate Winery and Vineyards, continues at the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts on Saturday, July 23 from 1–2:30pm with legendary performers Greg Adams and East Bay Soul.
Trumpeter and songwriter Greg Adams’ musical journey has spanned nearly four decades, earning both Grammy and Emmy nominations and an International Broadcasting Award from The Hollywood Radio and Television Society.
A founding member of Tower of Power, Greg’s legendary horn arrangements created their signature sound and made the group one of the most enduring musical entities today. Greg has arranged for, performed and recorded with countless artists as diverse as his career, including The Eurythmics, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Lyle Lovett, Linda Ronstadt, Everclear, Quincy Jones, Huey Lewis and the News, Wilson Pickett, Heart, Josh Groban, Bonnie Raitt, Dionne Warwick, Madonna and The Rolling Stones.
East Bay Soul is a combination of instrumental soul funk and rhythm and blues vocals built on a design to discover new achievements in jazz music. Their sound has roots in the uniquely soul based genre associated with the San Francisco East Bay Area. The timeless quality of the East Bay Soul sound knows no age limits.
