McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, CA is a beloved local store, and it’s been hosting live shows since 1969. Their room is just spacious enough to not feel cramped but retain an air of intimacy. The artists that have performed there over the years are many and varied, and include Jackson Browne, Bill Monroe, Linda Ronstadt, Rosanne Cash, and Taj Mahal. Author Peter Alan Lesser has done a great job of detailing the vibe of the venue and coloring it with history without getting bogged down with superfluous name-dropping. McCabe’s has always valued quality over anything else, and Lesser sees that. Whether you've been to the venue or not, this is a great read.
