You can’t miss the outstanding performance of Barcelona native flamenco artists, Paco Arroyo and Yolanda Arroyo. Paco’s virtuoso playing guitar, Yolanda’s heart-moving dance, singing and transcendental technique in castanets will surely fascinate all audiences with a standing ovation. Three talented local flamenco dancers and MKF’s dancers and musicians, will also be featured in the show.
The theme of this year’s event is “Spain”. Flamenco is a folk art form that originated in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, and the Romani, a migratory people, played a major role in its history and development. As an art form created by wandering peoples through a fusion of various music and rhythms, it resonates with a diverse range of people, bringing familiarity, nostalgia, and melancholy; in 2010, it was included in UNESCO’s list of Spain’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. We are honored to be able to present this wonderful culture to you on stage through the art of flamenco, an art we feel passionately about. You will be able to enjoy a wide range of flamenco performances, from brilliant dances with castanets, fans, and mantons, which are typical flamenco accessories, to cante and guitar performances! I hope that through this recital, you will enjoy a dreamy moment to immerse yourself in the passion of flamenco and free your spirit.

Andy & Renee & Hard Rain-Torrance Summer Concert Series
SAT, JUL 5, 2025 Wilson Park, 2200 Crenshaw Blvd., Torrance, CA 90501
Andy & Renee & Hard Rain-Malaga Cove Library Park Concert
WED, JUL 9 @ 6:30PM Malaga Cove Library Park, 2400 Via Campesina, Palos Verdes Estates, CA
Since summer of 2023, South Bay real estate has been erratic, inexplicable and highly inflationary. Both the sales volume and the median price jump up, and then down, and then up again with no apparent rationale. For example, the number homes sold in the Beach cities was up 29% in December, down 40% in January and up 70% in February. Over the same months, the median price in the the Beach cities went up 9%, up 30%, and down 7%. Those are huge jumps, and with contrary indicators.
Some of that crazy action made sense during the pandemic, but post-pandemic, where the economy should be leveling out, all the numbers should be moving in the same direction, consistently.
The number of homes sold should be on the increase constantly until 2027/2028, as sales stabilize following the out-sized impact of the low pandemic-era interest rates. Those low interest rates caused a sizable percentage of future buyers to step up to the plate earlier than they would have normally. Those buyers will not be back in the market for another four to five years, at the earliest.
The median price of those homes should be increasing in line with the Federal Reserve target of 2%. The fact that they are increasing one month and dropping the next indicates a dysfunctional market. The degree to which prices and sales are bouncing around indicates an out-of-control economy.
Why is this a problem? The list price of your house is determined by recent sales. When the recent sales are all over the map, your broker is hard-pressed to get your asking price correct.
Typically, we try to provide some sort of a forecast for the coming months. Unfortunately, the fundamentals are not lining up in any direction right now. Maybe next month.
Beach: Sales Up, Prices Down
The number of February home sales in the Beach area jumped to 109, 70% above those of January. At the same time the median price dropped 7%, ending at $2,180,000.
Compared to last year, February sales were up 42%, with an annual increase in the median price of 23%.
Year to date, sales of homes rose 34% versus the first two months of 2024. Median prices for the same period increased by 27%.
Harbor: Sales Up, Prices Up
On a monthly basis, sales volume in the Harbor area jumped by 12%, ending with 273 homes sold in February. Median prices for the Harbor climbed 1%, reaching $760,000 for the month.
While year over year sales volume was up by 14% for February, the annual median price at the Harbor dropped 4%. This marks the first annual decline in median price at the Harbor since 2023. Economic volatility has created a lot of wide monthly swings, but the variances annually have been more restrained.
Compared to the first two months of 2024, the number of homes sold increased by 12%, despite negative sales volume in January. Median prices fell by 2% for the same period.
Hill: Sales Up, Prices Up
From January to February sales of home on the Palos Verdes Peninsula increased by 44%, from 32 to 46 units. That jump was accompanied by an 8% growth in the median price, matching the 8% increase of last month. The February median price came in at $2,047,000.
Comparing February sales this year to those of last year shows a 28% rise in the number of homes sold. Likewise, the median price climbed 16% from last February.
Looking at year to date for 2025 versus 2024, sales volume is flat at 78 homes sold for the two month period. In the same time frame, median prices have shot up by 11%, clearly an inflationary statistic.
Inland: Sales Up, Prices Flat
February home sales in the Inland area hit a total of 103 properties, registering an 18% increase in volume over the prior month. The median price for February came in at $900,000, exactly the same as January.
Looking back to last February shows a 10% increase in the number of homes sold, along with a 4% rise in the median price.
Combined home sales for January and February of 2025 surpassed sales of 2024 by 18%. The median price went up by 2% for the same period.

RICK SHEA
Longtime Southern California singer-songwriter Rick Shea got his early musical education in the bars and honky-tonks of San Bernardino where he grew up. With ten critically acclaimed albums, he’s performed all over Southern California, the West Coast, the US and in Europe, and built a solid career for himself as a solo artist, singer, guitarist and songwriter. Shea’s songs reflect the folk, country, rock and Mexican influences he grew up with. “Songs tell our stories and our history and songs were how those stories were shared in the past, I like to continue that tradition.”
60 miles east of Los Angeles where the urban sprawl starts to thin out and the desert starts to take over sits the old railroad town of San Bernardino. Shea says, “Growing up there were a dozen or more honky-tonks and truck stop bars on the outskirts. They were kind tough places but as a sideman and singer I could work 6 – 7 nights a week. That’s where I first heard a lot of those old songs – Merle Haggard, Lefty Frizzell and Buck Owens – every night.”
Shea’s recently released album Love & Desperation has gained a lot of praise as have his earlier albums. He is a deeply evocative singer and a formidable guitarist who doubles on steel guitar and mandolin. On his songwriting influences Shea says, “When I was younger Merle Haggard cast a long shadow, but since then Dave Alvin, Jim Ringer and a lot of other music has found its way in.”
If your tastes run toward hard working, literate, back 40 folkies like Tom Russell, Chuck Pyle, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and others like that, Shea is sure to be another that you’re going to dig. With a very personal edge to his writing and singing, this is classic folkie/troubadour stuff that cuts right to the chase and delivers moves that others can only turn into clichés. Check it out, it’s the real deal. – Chris Spector MIDWEST RECORD
A hauntingly nostalgic vocalist, imperative guitarist and literate, detail-rich songwriter, do yourself a favor. – Gary von Tersch, Sing Out
TONY GILKYSON
Born in Hollywood and raised in an environment of musicians, songwriter–guitarist Tony Gilkyson originally started recording as a boy with his father, Terry Gilkyson, a composer for Walt Disney and a prominent folksinger/songwriter in his own right. Artists he has played and recorded with include Lone Justice, John Coinman, Jake LaBotz, Ray Wiley Hubbard, Bob Neuwirth, Sam Phillips, Duke McVinnie, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Peter Rowan, Larry Hosford, Rick Shea, Dave Alvin, Kip Boardman, Alice Cooper, Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, K.D. Lang, Mark Olsen, Shane MacGowan, Ramsey Midwood, Mike Stinson, The Spoolies, Randy Weeks and Kathleen Wilhoite. He has produced recordings for sister Eliza Gilkyson and Dances with Wolves author and poet Michael Blake. With Tom Waits, he co-produced Chuck E. Weiss’s albums Extremely Cool and Old Souls & Wolf Tickets. In 2003 he produced the acclaimed Country for True Lovers by Eleni Mandell. He also has played guitar on numerous film sound tracks including the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, as well as The Big Lebowski, Don’t Come Knockin’ and All the King’ s Men, with producer T Bone Burnett.
BRIAN WHELAN
There’s nothing wrong with Americana. Brian Whelan’s refrain on the opening track of Sugarland immediately lets you know what the singer, songwriter, producer, sideman, and all-around utility savant is all about. The song is cheeky, fast, and pulls no punches. There’s plenty of façade in Whelan’s Los Angeles, but that’s not what he’s here for. He’s here for the tunes.
If you’re a frequenter of the Cinema Bar in Culver City, no doubt you know the name Brian Whelan. As a young musician with half a boot still in USC’s music program, Whelan found the bar, found his people, and found his scene. Further down the line, you’ve come across him shredding GOE Sundays at The Echo in Echo Park, singing originals that gets the packed room dancing as much as the covers he slays.
But the name was really made playing with country, rock, and Americana stars, such as Houston’s own Mike Stinson, Nashville roots godfather Jim Lauderdale, and Los Angeles rocker Chris Shiflett. Whelan put his unmistakable mark on the national scene as the prolific sideman behind urban cowboy Dwight Yoakam, playing guitar, keys, pedal steel, and anything else that was required or requested. From budding fan to established keystone, Whelan is now at the center of that Los Angeles Americana scene he discovered years ago.
Perhaps the most interesting quality in Whelan is the one not hidden, but bleeding through every second of the 33-minute Sugarland: earnestness. It’s a trait Los Angeles is bereft of; a town that wrings the optimism out of every heartland kid with an eye on the screen or a guitar in the trunk of that car that carried them west. The driving guitar riffs, the soaring vocals, and the love-fueled lyrics that define Whelan’s solo songwriting endeavors aren’t contrived; they don’t come from a flavor of the week proclamation on pitchfork or the current Coachella lineup. Brian Whelan can do a lot of things, but there are two things he won’t do – boring and bullshit.
