The Laguna Beach Cultural Arts center showcases many of the most talented original artists from Southern California and beyond.

In downtown Laguna Beach, a Frisbee's throw from the ocean, there's an innocuous steel door with a discreet sign. Open that door, climb a steep, narrow stairway to a large, bright entryway lined with artwork. Continue into a large open area, the combined studio/entertainment/performance area.

Enter this "secret space," then find a perch so you can sway with the rhythms...

More about the artist:

Lead Singer and guitarist, Jason Feddy is currently Laguna Beach Arts Alliance "Artist of The Year."

Born and raised in Leeds, UK. Jason paid his musical dues in the ’80’s in the working men’s clubs and pubs that have spawned so much British talent.

He is a central figure in the music scene of Laguna Beach, playing at local venues, all three arts festivals and curating and producing the city’s “Sunset Serenades,” “World Music” and (most recently) “Music in The Park” series’ of concerts. For 5 years he was the daily morning DJ on Laguna’s local radio station. It was a golden age of radio in Laguna Beach. His show of Shakespeare’s songs and speeches is always fun and well received.

His career has seen him open for Neil Young, Tears For Fears, The Cranberries, John Martyn, Christie Moore and Joe Cocker + many more.

In 2019, Jason wrote the music and directed the band in comedienne Rita Rudner’s Off Broadway show “Two’s A Crowd”, in which he also performed original songs. The New York Times wrote that Jason has “Rumpled Charm”!

For all of Jason’s local performances, it is unusual to see him in his default position, as a singer/songwriter of poignant, moving and sometimes funny original songs, with stories and jokes about his life, love and career. This British Troubadour holds a crowd in his hand and takes them on a journey. Think of a modern Loudon Wainwright, Randy Newman or Springsteen.
