  • The John Anson Ford Amphitheatre (The Ford)
    2580 Cahuenga Blvd. E
    Hollywood Hills 90068
From $35

Learn about how "The Book of Love" was written when you head to the Ford Amphitheatre to hear Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields explore the band’s seminal 1999 three-volume concept album 69 Love Songs with Song Exploder podcast host Hrishikesh Hirway. Merritt will also perform an intimate solo show at the event. I’m putting in a request for “I Think I Need a New Heart.”
