Each of the musicians who make up 'The Californians' have the West Coast sound in their blood and the result is an exciting and authentic sound which takes the audience on an emotional ride with every well loved song. The music and harmonies are a joy to perform, although they emphasise that they are not a tribute band, as each player brings their own style to the band. Also, just as with the originals, the players are all friends of many years and have played and sung together and appeared on each others albums too.

It is an evening full of nostalgia and definitely not to be missed with songs such as:

You've Got A Friend, Marrakesh, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,
Doctor My Eyes, Take It Easy, Helplessly Hoping, Ohio, It's So Easy,
You're So Vain, Carey, Big Yellow Taxi, Too Late, Mockingbird,
Long Train Running, and so many more…

NEW SINGLE - 'Friends & Lovers'

The Californians have written a new song about the West Coast era to promote the show. The musical style has a nod to all the artistes featured in the show and its lyrics are references to their life and times. It's got a definite 'Eagles' feel, with CSN style harmonies on the chorus, a Joni Mitchell section and a Jackson Browne and James Taylor flavour to the verse, with Linda and Carly singing lead!
