“Hollywood Rising” – Song For Hollywood Gateway Sign
I’m thrilled to have contributed a song to a little piece of Hollywood history. There’s a smaller Hollywood Sign, not the world famous sign in the Hollywood Hills, but a vertical, thirty foot tall sign on a triangular park at the intersection of Cahuenga Blvd, Franklin Ave & Wilcox welcoming visitors into the area. On April 22, 2015 there was a lighting ceremony for the sign. I performed my song “Hollywood Rising”, which honors the sign with Kerry Crutchfield on drums. Together we make up two thirds of our long time trio, Hollywood Rhythm Kings.
