Ned and Neo
Alvas Showroom1417 W 8th St, Los Angeles 90732
Ned Evett and Neo bring a two-piece set to Alvas Showroom, pairing Evett’s fretless glass guitar and vocals with Neo, Lucas Jofre, on bass guitar. The listing promises a performance built around soaring guitar, cinematic chordal bass, and expressive singing, moving between atmospheric textures and forceful rock-driven passages. It is a chance to hear the unusual voice of Evett’s glass fretless instrument in close dialogue with Jofre’s bass.
Evett is known internationally for his pioneering work on the glass fretless guitar, an approach that puts a distinctive instrument at the heart of his music. The venue describes his playing and vocal work as deeply emotional and visually striking, with a boundary-pushing bent that resists a single stylistic lane. He has recently appeared as an opening act for Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. For this date, the focus is the duo format: Evett’s fretless guitar and voice alongside Jofre’s bass, shaping the material through texture, chordal weight, and rock-oriented momentum.
Alvas Showroom offers a rare chance to experience live music in a setting designed for deep listening and connection. The room seats 99 people in a small amphitheater layout, with chairs angled toward a low stage surrounded by vintage stringed instruments hanging on the walls. Every seat provides an unobstructed view and pristine acoustics, so every note and lyric reaches you clearly. The venue emphasizes artistry, hosting jazz, world music, Americana, and guitar-centric performances that attract musicians who value attentive audiences. There is no food or drink service, but complimentary coffee, tea, and water are available, and you are welcome to bring your own refreshments. Free parking and wheelchair accessibility add to the ease of the visit. The experience is focused on the music itself, making it a perfect evening to slow down and immerse yourself in sound.
