THE TOLEDO SHOW
Harvelle's Santa Monica1432 4th Street, Los Angeles
The Toledo Show brings Toledo’s soul-cabaret to Harvelle’s Santa Monica: a choreographed blend of live music, dancers and backup singers, with speak-easy jazz, funky bass lines, horns, and his smoky, soulful voice. The music moves through jazz, funk, spoken word and rock ’n’ roll dance grooves.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Toledo began in the underground poetry circuit, ad-libbing with Angelo Moore, Trulio Disgracious and Macy Gray. He has also worked as a dancer and choreographer with artists including Janet Jackson, Sammy Davis Jr., Diana Ross, Bonnie Raitt, Al Green, George Michael and Smokey Robinson; his choreography for Us3’s “Cantaloup” received an MTV Video Award nomination. The Los Angeles Times called him “The coolest Cat working in Hollywood.”
Harvelle's Santa Monica is a live music venue with a full bar and food menu, offering a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy a show and a drink. The space is intimate, with a small stage and audience seating that allows close proximity to the performers. Shows typically start around 8 PM and run until 10 PM, with multiple sets and karaoke options available. It's a place where music and conversation flow together, ideal for a casual evening out with friends or family.
