Ethan Rose & Laura Gibson will be performing tonight at Echo Curio | Picture via Ethan Rose & Laura Gibson's Myspace
Our Pick: Laura Gibson & Ethan Rose, Novi Split, Daniel Ahearn, CMG and the Night @ Echo Curio
Tonight Akron-bred folk rock singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur will be kicking off a month-long stint at the Stronghold on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach. Nebraska-based indie rock outfit Cursive are poised to take on the House of Blues Sunset in West Hollyweird with Chicago-based pop punk outfit Alkaline Trio. And, lastly, LA-based ten-piece funk orchestra Breakestra will be gracing the Natural History Museum with none other than local retro 60s soul-infused pop act Fitz and the Tantrums in tow, for this month's edition of First Fridays. But we strongly suggest heading over to Echo Curio to catch Portland-based musicians Laura Gibson & Ethan Rose, a folk songstress and an electronic composer respectively, who have fused forces to create one of the most intriguing albums of the year—Bridge Carols.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
