Joy Clark is billed for a November 20 performance at McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica. The announcement names Clark alone and gives no further details about the set, guests, or whether she will appear solo or with other musicians. The concert takes place in the shop’s back room, reached through the instrument store, where folding-chair seating faces a small stage amid walls of guitars and other stringed instruments. It is a listening-room setting, with no bar, built for acoustic detail and lyrics.
Clark is a New Orleans singer-songwriter, lyrical guitarist, and composer whose work is described as “soulful original compositions that celebrate peace and the undeniable power of love.” Her music is listed as acoustic pop in a singer-songwriter frame. The available information does not identify collaborators, a specific touring lineup, or critical notices, so this billing keeps the focus on Clark’s own writing and playing. Her appearance brings those original songs to a room designed for audiences to hear the words and guitar clearly.
McCabe’s is a working instrument shop with a concert history stretching back to the late 1960s, and its back room has welcomed both emerging artists and performers who keep returning. The show takes place among walls hung with guitars and other stringed instruments, with the audience seated in folding chairs facing a small stage. It is a listening room: there is no bar, and the quiet lets acoustic detail and lyrics carry through the room. Concerts are ticketed, and the shop’s current listings and tickets are available online, so check ahead for your show. The shop is on Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica; the concert room is reached through the store. Expect an evening focused on the performance, rather than drinks or dinner between sets.
