Andy Hill & Renee Safier and the Hard Rain Band

During a time of social unrest, there was Woodstock 1969. Great minds of the music world met and shaped the future of American culture. This timeless music, 48 years later, still makes us cut loose and dance. July 15, 2017 was a gorgeous evening on the Peninsula—the perfect time and place to recreate that era with a picnic on the lawn and the music of Andy & Renee and the Hard Rain Band.

*Who sang Oh Happy Day at Woodstock?
**Who played The Star Spangled Banner?

Thank you to Claudia and Tom Grzywacz for creating the vision for Stormstock as a way to bring music lovers together to share the fun, drink the elixir of youth, and benefit the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

voted “Best of the Beach” in Easy Reader poll!
Andy Hill & Renee Safier have carved out a unique musical niche for themselves in the LA music scene (and beyond). Their performances – more than 200 a year – are as much social gathering as musical event. Andy & Renee, as a duo, and along with their band Hard Rain, have taken their unique sound to venues large and small all over the world. Their 15 CDs have won them countless awards, including “Best of the Beach” for several years running. The group just celebrated their 27th year hosting their own Bob Dylan music festival, “Dylanfest”, a concert attended by 100’s of fans and featuring over 70 of L.A.’s top musicians. The 8 hour event is held in May at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center. Get performance and booking info at www.andyandrenee.com.
