I'm originally from LA, and I've never been to the historical Ford Theatre, even though I live less than 10 minutes from the venue. Until last Saturday night...
The Ford Theatre is a small outdoor hillside theatre in Hollywood located across the way from it's much larger counterpart, the Hollywood Bowl. It used to be called the Pilgrimage Theater many years ago, but has since been renovated and renamed the John Anson Ford, and then the Ford Theater. It's a relaxing, intimate place to enjoy some great music, dance or film out under the stars. And, it's now one of my favorite concert venues!
On Saturday, we went there to listen to some talented, independent "up-and-coming" musicians. 6 different singers and bands each performed a few of their original songs in front of about 1200 "guests". Sitting outside at the Ford Theater drinking some wine, snacking on some cheese and crackers and listening to some great acoustic music...priceless!
Cross off another "first" for this local tourist!
