Echo Park, CA- “Echo Park Rising is a neighborhood event in it’s 7th year that focuses on the music, creativity, diversity and small businesses of Echo Park. There are multiple stages and activities throughout the weekend located on the main routes of Sunset Blvd, Glendale Blvd, Alvarado Avenue, Echo Park Avenue and beyond.” The joy I get from attending this annual, local musical showcase is twofold: (1) I get to see some local acts that have caught my eye rock for free and (2) I get to take fliers on certain bands to see/hear what they’re all about and hopefully add them to my list of local acts to keep and eye on.
Lauren Ruth Ward falls under category number 1. Since May of this year, her performance at The Echo for Echo Park Rising was my 3rd time seeing her perform live, and there’s good reason for that. She. Kicks. Ass. On. Stage.
I’m not sure what else I can say about her live performance that I haven’t already said here and here, so let me just say … rather … let me just urge you to make it a point to see her perform live. The energy that she emits on stage is infectious and engaging, and I pretty much guarantee that if you love rock and roll, you’re going to f*cking love Lauren Ruth Ward.
Lauren Ruth Ward is celebrating the release of her new album this month at the Bootleg Theater. Unless life throws a wrench at me and messes up my plans, I plan on being there to see this spit-fire performer destroy yet another venue. It will be my fourth time seeing her perform live this year. Will it be your first?
