Tara Clerkin Trio
Zebulon2478 Fletcher Drive, Los Angeles 90039
Tara Clerkin Trio plays Zebulon in Frogtown, with DJ sets from Jimmy Tamborello and Zach Cowie alongside the trio’s performance. Tamborello is identified in the listing with dntel, Postal Service and dublab; Cowie is identified with NTS. The bill is centered on Tara Clerkin Trio, rather than a named support act, and the listing does not specify a set format or repertoire.
Tara Clerkin Trio is a Bristol three-piece made up of Tara Clerkin, Sunny Joe Paradisos and Patrick Benjamin. The event listing introduces Somewhere Good as the group’s first new music since 2023 and calls that earlier work acclaimed, but provides no further detail on their sound, individual roles, collaborations or critical notices. For this appearance, the focus is the three-member group’s set, paired with selections from Tamborello and Cowie behind the decks.
Zebulon offers a unique evening where live music meets a creative café setting, housed in a former bakery with a striking bowstring-truss roof that enhances its sound. The venue features a large stage and a well-stocked bar alongside a menu of pizza, tacos, and small bites, inviting guests to enjoy both the music and casual dining. The room holds a diverse crowd drawn by its adventurous programming, from experimental music to jazz and indie rock, with performances that encourage attentive listening rather than just background noise. A welcoming patio extends the space, and the original 1930s wooden bar adds character. Shows range from ticketed to free, often with a late-night vibe that can include multiple sets or DJ sessions. This spot is a cultural anchor in Frogtown, blending local artistry with international acts in a relaxed yet focused environment.
