Troubadour presents Alyssa Grace on December 2. She is the only billed performer, with no support acts, guests, special format, or occasion announced. The show arrives after her debut EP, spilling my guts, which brings together songs about self-doubt and self-growth, the line between attachment and addiction, and the complications of loving and being loved. Her breakout singles include “bloodstream,” “dog with a bone,” and “picking petals.”
Grace is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from Torrance, California, who has been writing since childhood. Her work draws on acoustic tradition while using direct, contemporary writing: her songs move through hooks with metaphors and unflinching detail, and her voice is described as soothing one moment and shaken by pain, longing, or anger the next. “bloodstream,” about overcoming emotional trauma, reached the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and Canada, while “dog with a bone” addresses toxic love and “picking petals” is presented as a heartbreaker. She has worked with producers Steven Martinez and Idarose, and was invited to join Alex Warren’s Australia and New Zealand summer 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.
