One step into Kulak’s Woodshed and you know you’ve entered a place like no other. I always say it reminds me of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, but funkier. There is definitely no shortage of eye candy on the wall…. Nope, no bare-chested hunks—more like posters of Carole King, Janis Joplin, a cardboard cut out of John Wayne, stuffed frogs and cool guitars. Kulak’s is a cozy, groovy little dive, a perfect spot to host local singer-songwriters.
Saturday night featured 5 Alarm Music composer, Lindsay Tomasic. Lindsay helped bring 5 Alarm Music to the forefront of the production music scene. She was the executive producer at the time of our launch and contributed her talent on over 13 albums for 5 Alarm Music—including some of our most popular and widely used albums— Beyond Big Beat (FA31), Coffeehouse Rock (FA37) & Light Acoustic (FA52). These days Lindsay is out touring and promoting her newest album “A Slice of Life”, recorded at our own Firehouse Recording Studios. Lindsay’s music is a beautiful blend of acoustic and soul. Her songs come straight from the heart—revealing her witty sense of humor and her passions for our current political climate. She is a woman with a message, people!
Joining her on stage was String Planet, starring our beloved Larry Tuttle & Novi Novog who are also regular contributors to our library. Lindsay, Larry & Novi’s compositions have been featured in countless film and television productions, including One Life To Live, Young & The Restless, Everybody Hates Chris, Malcolm In The Middle, Monk and Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, and so much more.
Kulak’s Woodshed in North Hollywood, CA bills itself as a true “Labor of Love”. They sustain themselves purely on donations from visitors who come to enjoy live music. All shows are web-casted live where viewers from all over the country can send in their donations or just send in an email to say hi! It’s a fun, interactive way to enjoy local music… and if you get there early, you can grab a spot on the bed!
