•CONSIDER THIS• My mother would hate this book…

F or my 16th birthday, I feasted upon Robin Morgan’s groundbreaking book and feminist clarion call, “Sister hood is Powerful.” As I hit the last page, my life’s journey was laid out before me: I would be a champion of social justice and liberation from society’s rigid gender roles. Little did I know then that feminism would not turn out to be the “get rich quick” scheme I thought it would. (Said in the style of Foghorn Leg horn: “I say, that was a joke, son!”) I have lost sleep, friends, opportunities and almost my house in pursuing what the most common-sense social justice move ment ever dreamed of: that each person is valued for who they are and has the right to set boundaries. They are valued as people and members of their communities, not for their skin shade or whatever plumbing they’ve got between their legs. Simple, right? Notice the lumps on my head? That’s from banging it on walls, ceilings and the occasional tumble down steep stairs. It’s not easy always being the one saying, “Hey, what about the gals? What about the gentlemen? What about the gender fluid? What about the people of color?” For instance, women and girls have been in a subjugated position globally for so long, it’s easy to be lieve it’s natural to have more than 50% of the world’s population thinking they are just not as good, competent or able as their male-identified counterparts. That’s complete hooey.

Women are just as socialized as men are to believe women are inferior or “separate but equal”; ergo, when you present an alter native, people who you’d think would be on your “side” aren’t. And to no one’s surprise (or it shouldn’t be), women vary in their views just as much as men. Shocking, I know! At the end of every summer, I celebrate my birthday: This year, I turn 69. Despite the sacrifices, I am proud that I would not have lived my life any differently. I know it’s not polite to speak openly about sacrifice; many women are simply expected to sacrifice. Oh man, my life would have been so much easier materially if I’d kept my mouth shut about sexism and racism, including turning down a wealthy man’s marriage proposal. (It would have helped had he not been such a creep.) And it would have been a life that would have made me suffer from a horrible conscience. I can’t unsee what I’ve seen nor pretend I didn’t read “Sisterhood Is Powerful.” And as great fortune would have it, two Justice Hurricanes — Gloria Steinem and Flo Kennedy — blew through Billings, Montana, during my freshman year in college there, and I was a goner! I swore to become someone who Gloria Steinem would be proud to know. What I have now, as do many of my social justice siblings, is a long view of my life as an activist and the benefit of new scholarship in race and gender studies as well as the politics and sociology of progressive movements.

We want to hear from you!

There has never been a progressive leap forward for hu mans that wasn’t met with violent hostility from people who reject change, even at the cost of their own well-being. Here’s an astounding example: Dr. Joseph Lister, who advocated that surgeons wash their hands and instruments as the most effective, cheapest and most straightforward way to reduce injury and death by surgery, was considered a crank by other surgeons! The “butchers” would rather die than change.

Likewise, my advocacy to teach women and girls emotion al, verbal and physical boundary setting is the most effective, cheapest and most straightforward way to reduce injury and death by violent attackers. Simple, right? Sorry, no. I have had pushback from many people I expected to support me. I’m also a crank, which is why I’m frequently cranky! Amping the Crank Factor, I now have farshtunkene (it’s Yiddish; look it up!), 20-somethings who can’t wait to manand-woman-splain basic feminist principles to me. I’m inclined to both celebrate and spank them. It’s a tad like the Spanish telling the existing Indigenous inhabitants, “We discovered North America!” after meeting them. No, Columbus, you didn’t discoverLikewise,squat!ifyou’ve got social justice genes, stand on our shoulders and take the exploration further than we did. Never forget that we lost Roe v. Wade. And we could lose a lot more.

As a teen and then young woman, my preparation for the inevitable and massive misogynist backlash was laughable. I had no one to comfort me when I would enthusiastically share with people my new epiphany, “Women and girls are not naturally inferior — it’s all a social construct!” and, in return, received verbal punches in the stomach from both women and men.

Lindbeck and many of her neighbors were involved in the planning process.

“We have 31 units here, and we’re directly across the street,” Lindbeck said. “So, we had concerns from sound, to homeless, to drugs, to this, to that. We also want a park. We all took an interest and all participated. Most of my neighbors went to all the community meetings and to the city council meetings.”

“That is definitely going to fill a need for the downtown area, which we have targeted for high density. When you have multifamily housing, a lot of apartments, a lot of townhouses, they don’t have a backyard. So, this becomes people’s backyard, people’s place to go play.” Property owners in Playhouse Village pay assessment fees, which help to fund

“I think you will find that a lot of office occupants who want to take their lunch outside will be able to walk out there and do so during the day,” Carey said. “I think that you will find people out at night walking their dogs, that want to have some fresh air. I just think there are multiple uses.”

“That’s how we were able to determine what features would be in the park,” she said.“We were able to determine there needed to be a play structure for kids, a dog run for the fur babies. Those became the priorities and were the features that got built into the park… We don’t want to build a park that nobody wants to come to. We have to make sure that it’s what the people want.”

Harvey-Williams said her department will be responsible for caring for the plants, infrastructure and playground equipment in the park. She added that having a Pasadena Village park is important, especially for resi dents.“Even though it’s a small park — which it’s only about an acre including the park and the parking lot — it gives some much needed both passive and active recreation space to the Playhouse Village area, which is really dense,” Harvey-Williams said.

“There’s a lot of multifamily housing there, and they needed a place to be able to go out and play, read a book, let their kids play on the play equipment or bring their dog and let it run free in the dog runs.

Lindbeck said plans to build a park didn’t pan out previously.

Playhouse Village Park celebrates grand opening

P arks are often embraced by the neighborhoods around them, by children who come to play, pet parents who bring their dogs out for walks and residents who have their lunches or picnics there. The newly built Playhouse Village Park is already generating excitement among residents and business owners in the Playhouse Village business improvement dis trictItsarea.grand opening is Saturday, Sept. 10. The park offers a 48-space parking struc ture, a shaded children’s play area, small and large dog runs, a water feature, benches and a small stage. The stage is named the Van Halen Stage in honor of the Pasadena-bred classic rock band. A kiosk, where food and/or beverages will be sold in the future, is still in the works. The bathrooms in the kiosk, though, will be open for use. During the opening event, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony, along with fan-making, storytime hour, tissue paper flower, giant game, e-Bike and arts and craftsTheyactivities.areorganized by Playhouse Village-area businesses and organizations such as the USC Pacific Asia Museum, Vroman’s Bookstore, Mercadito Monarca, the Playhouse Village Foundation, GoSGV, the Southern California Children’s Museum and Pasadena Public Library. Refreshments will be provided by Tepito Coffee and El Portal. Longtime coming The city of Pasadena purchased the Banner Bank property and gathered residen tial impact fees to help pay for the park. They broke ground in July 2021.

“They have been proponents for years for bringing a park to the district because of the residential development that has occurred in Playhouse Village,” Carey said.

“It’s been designed to be part of the community,” Lindbeck said. “We’re just so hopeful that it’s going to be a welcoming, interesting place to be in and hang out… We think it’s going to be a very activated, very well-used park.”

Margie Lindbeck, the immediate past board chair of the Playhouse Village Asso ciation and a local resident of Playhouse Village, said a stakeholders committee of about 12 people, including association and community members, helped research the park’s design.

“When we moved here, there was already a group of people advocating for the park across the street,” said Lindbeck, who moved to the area in 2007.

The design was created through a joint effort by the city of Pasadena’s public works department, the landscape architecture firm MIG Inc., the Village Park Asso ciation, city council representatives from districts 3 and 7 and residents and business owners.Brenda Harvey-Williams, Pasadena’s director of parks, recreation and community services department, said the city’s public works department tried to involve neigh bors of Playhouse Village in the planning process.

“Probably more than any other central district areas — which would include Old Pasadena and South Lake — this area has seen so much residential development. The association and all the of the owners participating in it realized we have to have a park. You can’t bring residents in and not have a park.”

The parks, recreation and community services department and Playhouse Village Association ambassadors will help maintain and clean the park.

The park is not fenced so it may be used anytime.

Playhouse Village Park will offer playground equipment for young people and places for adults to sit.

“We went out on field trips. We went to see other parks,” Lindbeck said. “We met fairly regularly with the designer and with a woman who had expertise with how you activate an urban park.” The park has been a long time in the making. Colleen Carey, board chair for the Playhouse Village Association, said her organi zation has wanted a park for a long time.

“Over the years, there was a park designed and funding was applied for. There was a grant application and a whole lot of activity. I think what happened was when the new development funds dried up, the whole thing fell apart. Then, fast-forward to 2018, the Banner Bank site came up for sale. Fortunately, there were far-sighted people in the city who thought, ‘OK, we can combine this commercial site where the bank was with a parking lot.’” Carey expects that residents and employees will use the park in different ways.

With 11 locations throughout Southern California, Sycamores has provid ed programs and services for children, young adults, adults and families facing serious life challenges for the past 120 years. At the El Nido residential campus in Altadena, the organization provides a welcoming environment for boys needing intervention and care.

With their Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP), Sycamores provides care and supervision to dependent and/or neglected males aged 11-18, many of whom are a part of the foster care or probation systems. The goals of the program are to stabilize mental health symptoms and to engage the youth and their family by providing the tools necessary to return home and live successfully as a family and within their community.

After a two-year hiatus, Sycamores recently welcomed back officers from the Altadena Sheriff’s Station for a spirited game of basketball with the foster youth at the organization’s El Nido residential campus. The event, generously hosted by the Las Candelas support group, was an opportunity to build positive relationships between the law enforcement officers and the youth at Sycamores’ Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, strong relationships of mutual trust between police and the communities they serve are crucial to maintaining public safety and effective policing.

Sycamores’ Gina Peck-Sobolewski expressed that collaborative partnership with the sheriffs can help shape the youth’s view of law enforcement in a positive light. After the game, one of the boys in the Sycamores program shared, “I don’t usually hang around cops like that, but this was different. I really had fun.”

t a time when relationships between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve have come under scrutiny throughout LA County following instances like the recent clashes with protestors in Downtown after the overturning of Roe v. Wade or the treatment of journalists by police at Echo Park Lake in 2021, Pasadena-based behavioral health organization Syca mores hopes to build bridges.

In the words Captain Jabari Williams of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, “As law enforcement officers, we want to be somebody that young people can look up to. And what better way to do that than coming out here, interacting with them, and just having a good time.”

Redshirt senior Bo Calvert combines hard work and competitiveness on and off the field. Photography/SubmittedUCLA 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 09.08.22 • SPORTS • B ruins’ redshirt senior outside linebacker Bo Calvert combines a strong work ethic and fierce competitive spirit to set the edge at the line of scrimmage and gain an edge in the classroom. The edge rusher, who is entering his final year at UCLA, seems as if he were born to play linebacker. His father, David, played defense for the University of Utah, where his two younger brothers, Ethan and Josh, currently play linebacker.

The combination of size, strength, and speed enabled all three Calvert brothers to realize their dreams of playing Division I football in a Power Five conference. It also helped Calvert develop into a key member of last year’s defense while lead ing the Bruins with four sacks.

Tillman was at the height of his professional football career when, motivated by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, left the NFL to join the U.S. Army. He was later killed in Afghanistan. “He was a huge competitor and amazing football player,” Calvert said. “He gave that up to serve his county and made the ultimate sacrifice. He’s been somebody that I’ve always looked up to as someone who saw the bigger picture of life and was not clouded by material gains or momentary success.”

During their childhood, Calvert and his brothers roughhoused in the yard and, when their parents were not at home, even inside the house. Whether playing baseball in the living room or putting on pads and hitting each other out back, they developed and sharpened the mentality required to play linebacker. “All of us were really tough guys,” Calvert said. “We were all very competitive and we enjoyed the physicality of any sport that we played. Football happened to be the sport that lined up best with our skill sets.”

| PASADENA WEEKLY 9

When Calvert enrolled at UCLA, he brought with him a commitment to work hard and had no sense of what to expect as an NCAA student-athlete. During his years on campus, he has learned so many lessons about life and football that he has become almost a new man.

Calvert’s post-collegiate goals will allow him to combine all that he has ab sorbed on the field, on campus, and in the classroom. He envisions a career in the business end of sports. His graduate work in sports management is preparing him for a possible position in sports agency. He is also interested in the possibility of working in a team’s front office someday. Whatever Calvert’s future holds, he will attack it with the same preparation, hard work and competitiveness that Bruins fans will see on the field every Satur day this fall.

“If I look back at my freshman year, that’s kind of a person that I almost can’t even recognize at this point,” he said. “I feel like I’ve progressed so much in my time here at UCLA.”

The tough, physical nature of Calvert’s play belies an introspective and thoughtful individual. He likens surfing, a new interest of his, to a form of media tion. He speaks passionately about the complexities and intricacies of the defense being installed under new defensive coordinator Bill McGovern. And the two athletes he admires most, Jackie Robinson and Pat Tillman, are best known for their impact off the field. Noting that Robinson was a multisport star athlete at UCLA before making history by breaking baseball’s color line in 1947, Calvert said that he respects Robinson for “the adversity he faced and the amount of resilience he had as a hu man being and as an athlete… not listening to the naysayers and willing to go out there and be the best person he could be and not letting the noise of the outside world affect Robinson,him.”who also served in the military and became a civil rights leader, “served as the ideal athlete and worked to be the ideal human being.”

Calvert’s growth at UCLA has not been limited to the gridiron. The same drive that has helped him excel at the sport he loves also helped him land on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll five times. He graduated with a degree in political science in three and a half years and is now a graduate student in sports manage ment.“Ithink the guys here (on the football team) pride themselves on their aca demics, myself included,” Calvert said. “Working hard to build a life for yourself after sports. I’m a competitive guy, so I’m going to compete in the classroom just like I’m going to compete out on the field.”

Calvert’s experiences in Westwood have taught him about teamwork, comrad ery, and leadership. “I had no idea what was ahead of me coming into college,” he said. “Moving now into my senior year, it’s been kind of a wild ride seeing all different sorts of groups of men here on the team and learning how different types of people come together to make a team.”

“I enjoyed teaching at Cal State LA and was glad to have the opportunity to stay and contribute to the higher education field.” Lee then went on to serve as the

DOWNTOWN

ADVERTORIAL

Cal State LA Downtown is located on the sixth floor at 801 S. Grand Avenue.

To support PaGE’s diverse student body, which ranges in age from around 25 to 65, its Downtown campus offers certificate and degree completion bachelor pro grams, accelerated master’s degree programs in business administration (MBA) and social work (MSW) and a Master of Public Health with a concentration in urban health.For Fall 2023, the college will offer a new bachelor’s degree completion program in hospitality, wellness and leisure services at its Downtown LA campus.

For example, Lee is immensely proud of PaGE’s commitment to understanding and supporting the educational needs of all of their students, as well as where they live and work.

Cal State LA Downtown is also strongly connected to the main campus’ colleges, which has resulted in an on-site writing center, highly knowledgeable faculty, and access to the main campus’ University Library.

In his dual role at PaGE, Lee oversees a number of programs and services for nontraditional students and working professionals at Cal State LA’s main and Downtown LA campuses

PaGE also offers in-person and virtual academic and financial aid advising. On line career services and mental health resources will also soon be added at Cal State LA Downtown, Lee noted.

At the time, Lee was a statewide advocate for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault with over 20 years of experience working in the nonprofit and social service sectors. His career included numerous roles — from a children’s social worker to an exec utive — at a number of community and government organizations like the YMCA, county and state social services agencies and a domestic violence and sexual assault shelter that supported Asian and Pacific Islander women and their children.

In January 2020, Lee was appointed as the interim associate vice president for international programs and dean of the College of PaGE.

“We did an analysis of where our students are coming from, and it is not just Downtown LA. We have many students from LA County and Orange County who we serve as they travel through to work,” Lee said.

Lee had also worked side by side with the business community and chamber of commerce, government officials and others to help improve the well-being, educa tional growth, health and safety of people living in Los Angeles.

Dean of Cal State LA’s experience in social service inspires his education career

He also helps to create partnerships with universities and agencies around the world to promote Cal State LA’s brand and recruit students to attend the university.

PaGE also offers programs in paralegal studies, project management, and medical billing and coding.

Cal State LA Downtown’s reputation for helping every student succeed is definite ly spreading.Sinceitsgrand opening in September 2016, Lee said more than 200 bachelor and master’s degrees and over 100 professional certificates have been awarded to those enrolled in programs at the 23,000-square-foot Downtown LA campus. Degree grad uates participate in the university’s May commencement ceremonies.

To help students who are juggling work and school to achieve their educational goals, Lee said class schedules and instruction are flexible, such as evening and Satur day classes and online instruction.

While Lee found his social services career fulfilling, he said he enjoyed the speaking engagement at Cal State LA so much, he eagerly agreed when he was asked to continue working with the school.

“We serve as an extension of the main campus, and we are proud to be help pro mote Cal State LA as the ‘City’s University,’” Lee said.

“I use my skills in social work left and right, and I’m devoted to meeting and sup porting the needs of all of our students.”

He oversees the development and implementation of academic, certificate and, professional development programs that are designed for working adults and resi dents.“We have a number of nontraditional students and working adults who are look ing to expand their skills or make a career change. So we offer a variety of programs to help them achieve their educational and career goals.”

As Lee noted, while he may have officially left his former career in social work behind, he has definitely not abandoned the skills, knowledge and passion for social work acquired over the years.

“I was able to start teaching at the university’s School of Social Work and soon was hired to direct the school’s training center for new county social workers,” Lee said, adding that after working as a social justice advocate and community leader for more than two decades, he relished the oppor tunity to educate others in the field, about which he is truly passionate.

s a public botanical garden stretching across 150 acres of La Cañada Flintridge, Descanso Gardens has offered members of the local community an experience to commune with natural world since 1953. With the return of its annual holiday event “Carved,” Descanso Gardens will welcome guests to carve thousands of pumpkins that will line the Camellia Forest from Friday, Oct. 7 to Monday, Oct. 31. “It’s become this really wonderful tradition for families,” said Jennifer Errico, marketing manager at Descanso Gardens. “If you came last year, everything will be a little bigger and a little different.” Alongside the ever-popular pumpkin house, hay maze and holiday-themed food and beverages, this year’s “Carved” will include glow-in-the-dark face paint ing and UV “black light” experiences as well as a Día de los Muertos installation at the“It’sAmphitheater.reallyanalter dedicated to those who’ve passed this year and it invites people to bring objects and help us complete the display,” Errico described. “Then as you work your way through Camellia Forest off the main lawn, there’ll be hundreds of jack-o’-lanterns, and everything’s lit up. All the oak trees are lit with greens and purples.” Beneath many of the oak trees, there will also be interactive platforms that change the lights and sounds of the trees as guests walk around them. “That was new last year, and I’ll never forget because I’m here a lot and I came out of the Camellia Forest and looked at the oak grove and there were just kids everywhere having so much fun,” Errico recalled. “After a year or two of Covid, it was just wonderful to see them running around, laughing and having a great time.”The three-week, family-friendly event is suitable for all ages. Errico expressed her hope that families, couples and garden-lovers alike will come together to witness the magic of the illuminated gardens, jack-o’-lanterns and 200-pound pumpkins carved with designs by professional artists. “We’re all about inviting everyone and making everyone feel included and part of the gardens,” Errico said. “So if you love the gardens during the day, we want you to come and see it in a completely different way during our nighttime events. “We really just want people to come and have a wonderful night with family and friends and leave refreshed and ready for the holiday.”

COST: Ticket prices for Carved are $20-$26 for members, $32-$38 for nonmembers.

Circus Vargas returns to Arcadia

“With our story, we tried to connect to people with circuses of the past and how artists and performers would come by train, and also give people a little feeling of ‘Hey, what did the artists do after the show?’” Katya described. “Then at the end of the production…everybody goes back to their own countries, to their own homes again, and everybody shares the last farewell.” The production is meant to depict the comradery that circus performers share as part of an entity that has no cultural, racial or religious classification or characteriza tion.Katya explained that the storyboarding process for a Circus Vargas show begins a year before production, giving the company enough time to travel the world booking acts that fit within the storyline and write music that’s tailor-made for the show. The choreographer arrives and new lighting is set in place, a process that takes a least a month on its own, then the show runs for a year and the Circus Vargas team starts overWhileagain.the creative process is grueling, Katya described the group as tightly knit.

“We are working together pretty much 24/7 and living together too, so everybody becomes one big family,” Katya said. “It’s like a little mini city, but without a zip code…We always have a wonderful experience, and we are really grateful that last year after the pandemic we were so warmly received, including in Arcadia and Pasa dena…That’s something we’ll never forget because we’re still here today thanks to our audience and Whilesupporters.”theanimal-free, family-friendly circus has a longstanding relation ship with the Westfield Group and its locations across California, Katya described Westfield Santa Anita as a special opportunity because Arcadia has been a popular destination for Circus Vargas in the past. “We’ve had great responses over the years,” Katya said. “We’re so happy to per form…We’re happy to bring some joy to our loyal fans and their families, and lots of new fans. That’s always our primary goal: come have some fun and enjoy with your family…We’re happy that we can make people feel something. And when it goes beyond their expectations, that’s even better.”

F or Katya Quiroga, an undying love for the circus runs in the family. Her and her husband Nelson are the owners and operators of the California-based Circus Vargas, their youngest daughter Daniella is a contortionist and handbalancer and their oldest daughter Mariella performs the flying trapeze for the company. Circus Vargas, spearheaded by the Quiroga family, has traveled across the western United States and beyond, and will perform their new show, “Circus Vargas Express,” at Arcadia’s Westfield Santa Anita from Friday, Sept. 9 through Monday, Sept. 26.

“I think this is the best show we’ve ever put on,” Katya said. “We have the biggest cast ever. We have the most amazing acts. We have the fan favorites, like the motor cycles, but this time we have three motorcycles in the cage. We have the ‘wheel of death,’ which is two boys that walk on a wheel, like a hamster wheel but it goes about 35 feet in the air. We have an amazing juggling group that came from the Czech Republic. We have another incredible acrobatic group from Romania, and we have a contortionist from Holland…It’s a two-hour jam-packed show that has amazing acts, but also tracks a nice story through it so you can feel and connect with our perform ers.”This year’s storyline follows an international cast of characters who board the Circus Vargas Express train to travel the country, bringing their talents and exper tise. The story is set long before the days when RVs and airplanes began carrying performers to the big top and tracks the lives and performances of a diverse array of characters who must work through cultural and language differences to come togeth er to create a successful show that brings happiness and laughter to its audience.

Eagle Rock’s Teddy Grossman is living his music dream

As a kid, music played a significant role in his home and inspired his future endeav ors.“From a very young age, it always felt like the thing I wanted to do,” Grossman said. His parents influenced his tastes.

“I had an opportunity to meet Bill and spend time at his house on a couple of occa sions. Bill would just sit there and tell us stories for hours. It was just the most surreal experience from a guy whose music has meant so much to me,” Grossman said.

Two of his favorite songs from this album are taken from times incredibly import ant to him. One of them is the song “Crowned,” which he wrote to honor the late Bill Withers. The two spent time together before he died in March 2020.

“The songs on this album are rooted in that time in New York, where I was realiz ing that things were out of balance. Within a year or so (after moving to Los Angeles), I started meeting my collaborators and began making this album,” he said.

“I started writing ‘Crowned’ just about those times as it was happening, but Bill passed away during, so it was just a very disorienting time, and I finished writing the song in his Grossmanhonor.”isalso pleased with his first single, “What I Owe,” about when his yearn ing to find stability in LA. “I wrote ‘What I Owe’ once I had finally found my footing in Los Angeles, and contributing to that was recording the album finally,” Grossman said. “After agonizing over this for five years, writing it in morning pages every day, ‘Am I ever going to do this?’ and then finally the song fell out of me, out of this gratitude for the moment and being here, but also this sense of dues to be paid.” When “Soon Come” was released in March, Grossman was prepared for any out come. He didn’t expect to open for Mavis Staples at Union Chapel in London for two nights.Besides the War & Treaty tour, he’s planning smaller dates near the end of the year in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York. Grossman is hoping to release a few other songs that he has been working on between the shows and next year. “I have a few more songs that I’m going to be putting out that were some songs that were initially recorded during the same time that ‘Soon Come’ was made,” Grossman said. “However, beyond that, I’m very much just in song collecting mode.”

Teddy Grossman of Eagle Rock released his debut solo album, “Soon Come,” in March.

Grossman was once part of a band when he lived in Chicago. He knew there was something more for him in music, and when he had this chance, he took full advan tage of “Myit.solo endeavor was going to be a more holistic offering artistically,” Grossman said.“There were seven years in between the last thing that I put out as part of a band and then this album. There were a lot of days when I just was unsure that I was ever going to actually make that leap or get to this point. There’s an enormous sense of just pride and joy in this album.”

os Angeles is the land of a thousand dreams. One of those dreams came true in March when Teddy Grossman released his debut solo album, “Soon Come.” Now, he is going on his first national tour. He plays the Thousand Oaks Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, Sept. 20, with The War & Grossman,Treaty.originally from Philadelphia, moved to the Eagle Rock area four years ago to make a career out of music. “I lived in New York for four years where music was definitely much more on the back burner, and all of a sudden I looked up; I was approaching 30 and not happy,” Grossman said.

“I was in elementary school, and I was going to do a book report, and I was decid ing between Magic Johnson, John Lennon or Stevie Wonder,” Grossman said. “Mind you, my parents were 18 years old in 1970, living in New York, so they’ve put me onto a lot of the music that I love today. I think that was instilled in our house from a very early age.” When he had the change to relocate from New York to Los Angeles, leaving the corporate world behind, he used the stops in his life as steppingstones for his lyrics.
