The MacDougal Street West group is now turning its attention to another legendary hub of American music: Laurel Canyon.

Tucked into the hills above Los Angeles, the canyon became a creative refuge where artists such as Linda Ronstadt, The Beach Boys, The Mamas and the Papas, Joni Mitchell, and many others helped define a distinctly California sound. Music floated through open windows, collaborations formed naturally, and the boundaries between neighbors and bandmates often disappeared. Each artist left a lasting mark on the canyon’s legacy, making Laurel Canyon less about any single voice and more about a shared moment of extraordinary creativity.

In interpreting these songs, the MacDougal Street West group treats Laurel Canyon as a living tradition — honoring the originals while embracing fresh interplay and the shared, collaborative spirit that defined the era.
