Troubadour9081 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles 90069
Alyssa Grace plays a headline show at the Troubadour, with no supporting performers or special presentation listed. The Torrance singer-songwriter arrives with songs from her debut EP, spilling my guts, alongside breakout singles including “bloodstream,” “dog with a bone,” and “picking petals.” Her writing centers emotional trauma, toxic attachment, self-doubt, growth, and the complications of loving and being loved: material built around direct detail, metaphor, and memorable hooks.
At 19, Grace has moved quickly from writing songs as a child and waiting tables to an international audience. Her music draws on acoustic tradition while speaking in a contemporary voice, and her singing is described as able to soothe or carry pain, longing, and anger. “bloodstream” reached the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and Canada, as well as the Top 40 in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, after a release-day total of 2 million streams. She made spilling my guts with producers Steven Martinez, whose credits include Sara Keys and Alec Benjamin, and Idarose, who has worked with Joji and Suki Waterhouse. Grace has also been invited to join Alex Warren’s Australia and New Zealand arena tour.
The Troubadour’s claim to fame is written into pop history: Elton John made his American debut here in 1970, and the musicians who became the Eagles met around the club. It remains an active West Hollywood live-music venue, with current concerts listed at its Santa Monica Boulevard address. Expect a ticketed show in a compact club room, with a bar and a small kitchen serving burgers, sandwiches, chicken tenders, and fries. Seating depends on the event; where it is limited, the venue says it is generally first come, first served, so check your show’s details before arriving. Doors typically open an hour before the performance, and most shows finish between 11 p.m. and midnight, though timing varies. The venue sits near Doheny Drive, on a stretch of West Hollywood with nearby bars and restaurants.
