Go “Headlong Into the Apocalypse” with Emilia Barrosse!

E Art One jpegSince returning to her hometown of Los Angeles after her college graduation, my daughter Emilia has been honing her craft as a standup comedian.

E CropFor the past couple years, Emilia has been earning laughs and developing her unique material in performance at comedy clubs in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and San Francisco.

Among the many clubs she’s played in Los Angeles are the famous Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip, The Formosa in West Hollywood, Flappers in Burbank, The Federal Bar in North Hollywood and The Leche Lounge in Silver Lake.

Now, Emilia is adding the Main Stage at iO West to that list.

E Crop 2If you’ve been among the many wonderful folks who’ve come out to see her club gigs, you’ve Emilia do 7-minute sets – 12 minutes or so when she’s headlining the show.

This time she’s doing her first full-length show: an hour of offbeat, satiric and highly original standup comedy on July 8, 9 and 10.

All shows are at 7:00 PM at iO West, located at 6366 Hollywood Boulevard.

Tickets are $10.

Eva B. Ross @ The Hotel Cafe

If you haven’t seen my singer-songwriter daughter Eva in performance yet – this is the gig to see.

I don’t know much about the music scene in Los Angeles, but I understand that it’s a big deal to play The Hotel Café. It’s evidently one of the cools gigs to get. And Eva’s got it.

So, check Eva out at The Hotel Café. The show just happens to be on my birthday, Saturday April 16th at 9:45. (Sure it’s a late start – but you can sleep in on Sunday, right? Besides, it’s my birthday, remember?)

Eva’s very talented UCLA friend, Nick Valentini, is also on the bill with his eclectic and tasty band. I’ve seen Nick and his crew perform – and they’re brilliant!

It’s going to be a legendary night of great music.

So, be there. Victoria and I will be — and we hope to see you all there.

The Trump Song!

Okay. everybody — sing along with us!

We love him, we love him,

He make our hearts go thump

Nos encanta el grande     

Y macho Donald Trump     

(We love the great and masculine Donald Trump)

He pulls the string that makes everybody Jump

Amamos a los testículos       

Gigantes de Donald Trump      

 (We love the giant testicles of Donald Trump)

 Trump es rico y loco          

When he is on the stump

On his competition

He likes to take a dump

The primary process for trump is a speed bump

Amamos a los testículos       

Gigantes de Donald Trump      

Sure he’s got a big ego

And to us he’s no amigo.

But, hey, what do we care?

He’s the GOP’S nightmare

He wants to build walls

Even bigger than his balls

But he’s muy bold and funny

And his cabelo’s the color of honey.

His huevos enorme

His cojones grande

He takes on each crisis

From Iran to isis

With answers he pulls out the hole in his rump

Amamos a los testículos       

Gigantes de Donald Trump      

TRUMP: SURE, I’VE GOT A BIG EGO

And to us he’s no amigo.

TRUMP: BUT, HEY, WHAT DO I CARE?

He’s the GOP’S nightmare

TRUMP: I’M GONNA BUILD WALLS

Even bigger than his balls

TRUMP: I’VE GOT STYLE — I’VE GOT CLASS

He’s an estupendo ass

Trump’s leading the polls

Though they nip at his heel

TRUMP: NO BOOK BUT THE BIBLE BEATS “ART OF THE DEAL”

He’s a rich racist fuck

TRUMP: BUT MY NUMBERS DON’t SLUMP!

Amamos a los testículos       

Gigantes de Donald Trump      

Amamos a los testículos       

Gigantes de Donald Trump      

 Amamos a los testículos       

Gigantes de Donald Trump

New Musical Treasures at The Mint!

Eva Banner1408403552-the-mint-venueThis Thursday, January 7th at 7:30 PM, a group of talented young musicians will take the stage at The Mint in Hollywood for an eclectic evening of rock & roll, jazz and blues.

C55C2DAC-AE88-B502-5AF763B16C4C0BCD

Among this fine collection of artists are my daughter Eva and her band The Eva B. Ross Foundation – along with her friends from UCLA, the popular Nick Valentini Collective.

Eva 3Eva is an emerging singer-songwriter who plays originals, rock classics and standards from the Great American Songbook with a bluesy, jazzy flavor, tinged with shades of Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones.

Eva might argue with that description, but that’s what I hear. Lend her an ear and hear for yourself.

D29ADBBB-F0B4-3EEF-49CD24BE7FE975F6This show will also be an opportunity for folks on the West Coast to hear Henry Hall play. I’ve known Henry since he was born – and he’s grown into a fine young man with great guitar skills and a singular musical vision. Check him out.

the-mint1The show will be a musical treasure.

That’s why it’s at The Mint.

The Mint is located at 6010 West Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles. For ticket information, click here.

Hope to see you on the dance floor!Eva Mint Art JPEG
