CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’ Acoustic Trio or Duo The founding members of California Dreamin’ perform these iconic songs as they were first created, simply and exquisitely on acoustic guitars and keyboard with lots of two and three-part harmonies. Ideal for more intimate venues, listening rooms, and wineries, the players share tidbits of Laurel Canyon lore, taking you on a trip back to the living rooms where this great music was born.
