Partners AKA Tapia & Jim AKA Long Engagement will be part of the Singer-Songwriters Showcase September 1st at Rib Ranch BBQ in Woodland Hills, Ca. We'll be doing a one hour set at 7:00, with a mix of originals and covers, along with two other artists at 6:00 and 8:00.
For anyone interested in playing out alone or in pairs, there is an Open Mic at 5:00 pm, which is basically first-come-first-up.
This event has been growing in popularity, so reservations are recommended. Ask to be seated in the patio, and get ready fro some delicious BBQ and great music exchange.

What a year 2026 has been so far! It feels like we FINALLY came out of hibernation and have been sharing music, both ours and that of others, in small venues across The San Fernando Valley, and No Kings Events for East Valley Indivisibles. When they call we come a running, and do our best to build our communities into a powerful force.
Our FBLive Show has become more sporadic. It's more like a small gathering of friends than a show, with a small real-time audience that grows by the day with views. We enjoy being able to communicate with friends we would not otherwise be able to see, so as long as people show up, we'll keep doing it.
2026 starte with an ongoing Songwriter's Showcase at Rib Ranch BBQ in Woodland Hills, followed by an new venue, The Tuning Fork in Studio City. Both have been fun listening to others sharing their creativity, but more important than that is the vibe of people coming together for live music, who really care about it. We'll be updating all events at “Projects and Gigs" page so if you're wondering, what's next, come check that out
Meanwhile our recorded music is at our “Music” page, and is free to listen to, to your hearts' content. We pulled our music from most streaming services when we got a notice we received .0025 cents for 64 streams., so I guess you could say it here “exclusively.” We'd rather share our music with people, and friends here than donate funds to places like Spotify and Amazon Music. Anyone who calls songwriters, singers and musicians by “content creators," is no one we want to do business with.
Thanks for dropping in. Look around, listen, and we hope to see you soon.
Life is good, and so are we!

For Spanish speakers, "Juntos Siempre," is a translation by our amigo bueno, Erasmo Salgado, of "Side By Side." Just hit the "play arrow" in the left column, and "horale."
