An Intimate Evening with Luke Spiller
Live at The Sun Rose8430 West Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles 90069
Luke Spiller brings a stripped-down Sun Rose performance built around the Bowie catalog and other special music. The Struts frontman and lead singer is set to showcase his voice and music with Mike Garson on piano, in a program Garson has described as rare and pared back. The billed title frames the night as an evening with Spiller, while the available details place Garson alongside him for this Dec. 16 date.
Spiller is best known as the frontman of The Struts, a band Garson says is “known for their must-see live show.” The group has toured sold-out headline dates around the world and opened for The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, and Guns N’ Roses. Garson also notes that Spiller has paid homage to David Bowie in arena settings with Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters, and Queen, experience that gives this Bowie-focused set particular context. Howard Stern praised Spiller and The Struts’ studio cover of “Suffragette City,” according to Garson. For this performance, Spiller’s rock-frontman presence meets Garson’s piano in a more exposed setting, centered on songs rather than the full band show.
Standing on the site of the former House of Blues along the Sunset Strip, the venue operates as a plush, 150-capacity listening lounge that puts audiences practically within arm's reach of the performers. Curated under the musical direction of Adam Blackstone, the space pairs pristine acoustics with low-lit velvet banquettes and cocktail tables, striking a balance between a serious listening room and a sophisticated night out. Advance ticket purchases are essential for entry: seating is divided between general standing room and reserved tables offering dedicated cocktail service, alongside dining options available on-site through the venue and hotel property. Late sets frequently draw surprise drop-ins from top-tier musicians, and patrons often linger for drinks after the performance.
