LICATA BROTHERS
Licata Brothers: Bio
The youthful but well-travelled Licata Brothers (Jimmy and Tony), an inspirational rock duo from Arcadia since 2010, are joining us to share some of their music.
Just back from a tour earlier this year of the West Coast and England and Ireland, they perform regularly in the local area.
You can also catch their music on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon as well as several recent music video highlighting their original works through YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and at www.TheLicataBrothers.com.
The Nextdoors are Mika Larson and Russell Mark, a wife and husband duo out of East Pasadena CA, and were awarded “Best Musical Act” of 2024 by Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo. Their Americana stylings and unique cello-infused sound have earned them radio play across the USA and Canada, and charting songs like their debut single “Awaken” which hit #1 at WBSD radio, and features a music video shot in and around the Pasadena area.
They founded Pasadena Neighbor Day, an annual event drawing capacity crowds to Wild Parrot Brewing Co, and have played many SGV venues including Old Towne Pub, U Street Pizza, FoundrSpace, and more – with upcoming shows at Monopole Wine, Taste of South Pasadena Festival, and Children of One World fundraiser in Altadena.
About that gig, Russell Mark of the Nextdoors says: “When we met Azita Milanian, heard about her organization, and read more online about her background and history, we wanted to get involved.
“We are very happy and excited to volunteer our time to perform at her annual Gala event and help draw attention to her cause – and have a lot of fun doing it. Music, dance, great food and drinks – we’re honored to be a part of it.
“We hope to give back even more by donating 20% of our performance fee for any gigs we are hired for in the future that stem from this event.
“Please join us in supporting Children of One Planet on June 1.”
