Lobster Fest is coming to San Pedro with an exciting line up of musical acts to perform the entire weekend of September 19-20-21. On Sunday September 21, at 12:30 pm, Andy Hill & Renee Safier will be performing with their band ‘Hard Rain‘. The group will be performing a Tribute to Bob Dylan with a full hour set of Dylan’s songs. Andy and Renee have recorded nine CDs, one of which is their highly acclaimed Dylan tribute, “It Takes A Lot To Laugh,” produced by Springsteen sideman Marty Rifkin. The couple has toured internationally doing originals as well as covers of the little man from Minnesota (Dylan).
They have played the music festivals from Telluride to Nappa Valley,
sharing the stage with John Mayer and Bruce Hornsby at Telluride, to
Michelle Shocked, at the Bob Dylan Festival in Italy. Their latest CD
also produced by Rifkin titled, “Hurricane Of The Heart,” is a
collection of Americana, folk and rock, performing their originals and
covers of such song writing stars as Patty Griffin and Mark Knopfler.
Their band ‘Hard Rain’ backs them on this collection and put in a
stellar performance. The title song is a story of post Katrina and the
aftermath in New Orleans, great work by local artists from the South
Bay.

Phil Christie “Rearview Mirror” is a collection of some of the most well crafted
songs this writer has heard since the hey day of the Brill
building––the home of songwriters working out of New York. These are
the kind of songs that made the careers of Neil Diamond & Carol King
possible. With a Voice that reminded me of several different people at
once Gordon Lightfoot, but more like Harry Chapin, with a dash of Neil
Diamond. This voice is of a kind that has not been heard in years, a
full smooth voice that yowe need is the desire to help one anotherwith
unrequited love.
