I can’t believe it’s August already! I got a news blast that the Hollywood Bowl added FOUR new shows and I had to share. I have lots of friends who do a ticket series buy for the Bowl and/or the Greek and I am always in awe of someone willing to make a commitment like that. However that said, I love the ability to be able to catch some shows at the last minute because they get added at a relatively last minute..
like these 4 shows at the Hollywood Bowl. !
August/September Shows
Gladys Knight & Cool and The Gang
The Empress of Soul, Gladys Knight, has been R&B, soul, and jazz royalty for decades, garnering seven Grammys with hits such as “Midnight Train to Georgia.” Plus, the famously funky Kool & the Gang “Get Down On It” with a “Celebration” in a double bill that can’t be beat.

That’s a tall bill of musical talent to be seen. You have lots of choices. Hurry and order your tickets now. We have a long, HOT summer still to endure through September!!
Don’t forget you can take your own picnic to eat at the Hollywood Bowl or you can buy one from the Bowl. Make sure you order ahead. Also if you try those SPRITZERS I was writing about tomorrow AM, you can take a large thermos or the accoutrements to make them while at the bowl.
