The GRAMMY Museum is pleased to present California Dreamin’: The Sounds of Laurel Canyon, 1965 – 1977, an exhibition that opened on May 9, 2014. This exhibition explores the story of the Los Angeles rock scene from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, a golden age of music, creativity and culture.
Laurel Canyon was as much a mindset as it was a music scene. The remarkably rich sounds of Laurel Canyon and the sheer number of songwriters, bands, producers, artists, engineers and record company people who have lived and worked out of Laurel Canyon prove that Los Angeles is and continues to be a vital rock scene. We felt it was important to tell that story, right here in our hometown.
– GRAMMY Museum executive director Bob Santelli
