In the 50s through the 70s, Topanga was the place to be. Musicians like Woody Guthrie, Neil Young, Jim Morrison, Lowell George, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye and more congregated, lived and performed here.
Topanga Sessions brings the LA music scene back to the Canyon. Hosted at Zeke’s childhood home, the concert series features artists from across genres backdropped by the rolling Santa Monica Mountains. Each episode features personal interviews where we learn about the musician behind the music, and raw performances alive with Topanga energy.
Zeke also runs a mountain top studio out of a transformed tool shed where he helps artists capture the Topanga Sound.
