Kid Ramos’ work with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, the James Harman Band, Los Fabulocos and the Mannish Boys made him famous for his blues guitar. His background is actually much wider, and his chops are as much Tex-Mex as jazz-rooted and informed by the blues.

Kid was an originator of what he calls Cali-Mex music, a fusion of blues, R&B, cancionero and Chicano sounds that reflect the influences that come from being part of California's Mexican-American community. Cali-Mex encompasses rock, tejano, and country-western swing, with a garnish of talent and high style. His new band, Kid Ramos y Los Suavos, is ready to unleash their latest take on Cali-Mex on May 4.

Opening the show is Pachuco José y Los Diamantés. José is a living tribute to the Pachuco style of the 1940s, associated with zoot suit fashion, jump blues, jazz and swing. His musical soul is rooted in the rhythms of old school rock & roll, and José has ventured into the world of fashion, crafting his own line of classy Pachuco style. Jose’s history is one of resilience, faith, and a harmonious blend of Pachuco vibes - with rock & roll rhythms.

Enjoy a multi-level all-day tiki experience when the Lowbrow Luau comes to Long Beach!

With two stages of Live Music, Lowbrow Artists, Rum Tastings and a Luau Buffet - this is a fun day to explore the 100 year-old Shannon's Corner art deco building. Its labyrinthian stairways, multiple mezzanines and hidden passageways connecting the 4 bars means you won't be bored!

Stop for a free taste at several rum stations and earn a free Mai Tai made with Flor de Caña Rum, our presenting sponsor.

Enjoy the music of the iconic band The Hula Girls, plus Shorty's Swingin' Coconuts and the Seatbelt Surfabilly Band as they perform all day in the ballroom At The Top, where you will find the luau buffet to be as outstanding as the drinks.

Sven Kirsten will present his special seminar "Sailors Bars of Long Beach," a fascinating look at the many ways the Tiki bar concept is based on the decor of sailors bars both here and around the world.

Several DJs keep things rolling, with a special appearance by San Diego's TikiTronic at Secret Island's subterranean speakeasy. Sip on craft cocktails and order from their exotic Secret Island menu.

It's all about the Lowbrow Art and you will see many of the tiki world's top artists on display throughout the venue. Also, tiki lifestyle vendors share their wares in this awesome exposition. Many other surprises are in store for you!

Make plans now to spend a day in downtown Long Beach at the Lowbrow Luau, 1-8 pm on Sunday May 18.

​Are You Missing the iconic tiki palace Don The Beachcomber?

So are we - and we are throwing a big reunion bash for all of Don's Ohana to "Relight The Swordfish!"

The original Don's sign now resides in Cypress, where it was taken after its rescue by the owners of Lace Music Products, Don and Jeff Lace.

The iconic landmark was a beacon for both sailors and seafood lovers, as the lighted swordfish commanded the Sunset Beach sky since 1930, first as Sam's and again as Don's, until the venue closed and the massive sign was one puff of wind away from impaling the tiki roof below it.

Together, we can restore the classic Don's sign and have an Ohana Family Reunion party at the same time, with Tonga Hut slinging the cocktails.

We are pulling out all the stops to make this an event to remember, with multiple bars, bands and tiki activities on Saturday, May 31.

Plan to meet old friends and join us from 2-9 pm for Hawaiian food, music and craft cocktails.

Help us raise the money needed to renovate the vintage metal sign, and be there as we Relight The Swordfish!

The outdoor concert line-up includes TikiYaki 5-0, The Volcanics, Little Kahuna and many surprises yet to come.

Location:

Lace Music Products
5596 Corporate Ave, Cypress, CA 90630
