Norarossbandshell An honor to Nora Ross by naming the bandshell after this extraordinary woman who gave so much. Nora joined the Valley Cultural Foundation in 2013.

NORA ROSS was a powerhouse of personality and a dedicated community leader who always put others in the spotlight. Her focus on helping performing artists and businesses in the community made her a unique and outstanding individual. Her work was rooted in providing the community with live entertainment programs and events in the arts, which included the free concerts at Warner Park. In 2017, she h

elped expand programs like Movies in the Park, and set her sights on creating a new Emerging Artist Showcase. Other programs extended to NoHo Summer Nights at the North Hollywood Recreation Center, Rock the Valley -- Battle of the Bands, creating Emerging Artist albums and Music on the Move 5K Run/Walk to support children's programs, providing School Art program grants. She even started a podcast series known as Arts on the Move. In 2019 Nora was promoted as Chief Executive Officer of the organization. During the pandemic when all live events were cancelled, instead of retreating into a safe cocoon, Nora boldly pivoted and started Concerts on the Couch. The series featured emerging artists performing video concerts online. She even turned large parking lots into drive-up movie nights so families and loved once could get out and do something fun from the safety of their cars. Nora also worked closely with local, state and federal offices on issues relevant to the business community, culture and the arts. She also developed relationships with community leaders and political officials and staff that included city councilmembers, the Mayor of Los Angeles, County Supervisors, State Assembly members, State Senators and U.S. Congressional representatives. A big proponent of encouraging a diverse audience to come together and be part of an experience, she wanted that experience to extend to an open and welcoming environment for staff and board members as well. It was her firm belief that the makeup of the organization should reflect the community it serves. June 26, 2022 we honored Nora Ross by naming the bandshell after this extraordinary woman who gave so much to her community.

EMERGING ARTIST August 23
🎤 Mike Scully
Mike Scully is a Southern California–based indie rock singer-songwriter known for emotionally raw, storytelling-driven songs. His music leans into themes like loss, redemption, and self-reflection, delivered with a gritty alt-rock edge and honest lyricism.
He’s shared stages with artists like Don McLean and The Temptations, and his debut EP even charted in the Top 10 on iTunes (Singer/Songwriter)—a strong early signal for an independent artist still building momentum.
Built around tight live band chemistry, his sound sits somewhere between classic singer-songwriter emotion and modern indie rock texture.

Fake it till you chart it: Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter hit No. 1 on iTunes, but not far behind are four completely fake AI-generated songs. Yep. Four spots in the Top 10 are songs by artists who don’t exist, made entirely by AI, uploaded by anonymous accounts cashing in on streaming pennies. Dozens more are creeping into the Top 100. iTunes has no system to flag them. Neither does Spotify. So that “new artist” you discovered? Could be a server farm in Latvia. The music industry is officially in treble.

🎤 The 90’s BaBiez
Straight out of Southern California, The 90’s BaBiez are a high-energy 90s R&B and hip-hop tribute band built around the MTV/BET golden era sound. They recreate the party atmosphere of the decade with live vocals, DJ-style transitions, and nonstop dance hits from artists like Boyz II Men, TLC, and Michael Jackson.
More than a cover act, they’re a full throwback concert experience, designed for nostalgia-heavy crowds that want the full 90s club and radio vibe in a live setting.
Built by seasoned industry musicians, they’ve performed at festivals, casinos, and major events across California, bringing a polished but party-driven stage presence wherever they go.

🎸 The John McCloy Band
Rooted in the legacy of the Sunset Strip, The John McCloy Band delivers melodic, adult contemporary rock that blends classic influences with a polished modern edge. Fronted by seasoned songwriter John McCloy, the trio pulls from decades of live experience to craft songs that feel both familiar and refreshingly personal.
With members who’ve shared stages with acts like Bon Jovi and worked across the LA rock circuit, their sound is built on tight musicianship, rich harmonies, and radio-ready hooks.
Tracks like “Vicious Voices” and “The Key” have earned indie radio play, while their live shows continue to anchor their growing presence in the SoCal scene.

"The John McCloy Band harkens back to the classic days of rock & roll with a contemporary freshness. John's at-times breathy vocal delivery and melodic choices give this trio's sound a uniqueness that really works in their favor.

🎤 101 Girls
101 Girls is a low-key emerging pop collective carving out space with confident, high-energy tracks and a DIY release style. With songs like “Confident” and “CRZY,” their sound leans into bold hooks, digital-era production, and attitude-driven pop.
Still under the radar, they sit firmly in the indie pop lane, building presence through streaming platforms rather than traditional industry rollout—very much part of the new wave of internet-first artists.

🎸 Sanford Street
West LA’s Sanford Street is a groove-heavy jam band blending funk, rock, and electro-psychedelic textures into long-form, improvisational soundscapes. Built around tight musicianship and free-flowing jams, their music leans into trance-like grooves and live spontaneity.

With roots stretching over a decade in the SoCal scene, they’ve built a reputation through high-energy live shows and festival sets, where no two performances are the same.

Their recent album “Golden Coast” pushes their sound further—layering funk rhythms with spacey electronic elements while keeping that core jam-band feel intact.

EMERGING ARTIST July 19
🎸 Raised on TV
San Fernando Valley’s Raised on TV channels pure garage-born indie rock energy, blending surf-tinged melodies with gritty, road-tested riffs. Formed by brothers Keaton Rogers and Kacey Greenwood, the band built its name the old-school way—touring relentlessly and growing a loyal fanbase from the ground up.
Their sound sits somewhere between sunny West Coast alt-rock and fuzzed-out garage pop, heard in tracks like “Caroline” and “Shining On.”
With multiple albums, hundreds of live shows, and a DIY spirit, they’re proof that indie rock still thrives on grit, consistency, and loud nights on the road.
