ABOUT
The Garden Concert Series is an exciting new performance venue in Redondo Beach. GCS features an intimate chamber concert performed by the Constellation Quartet with a selection of popular, film, and world music, and a new special guest each month. In July we welcome Petty Chavez.
PETTY CHAVEZ is an acoustic singer-songwriter duo; a transatlantic partnership whose haunting vocal blend and evocative, intimate soundscapes tell their modern day love story in a timeless fashion.
Born thousands of miles and an ocean apart, yet in similarly grey and rainy latitudes, Simon Petty and Celia Chavez somehow followed their own musical paths — from Manchester, England and Seattle, Washington, respectively — to sunny southern California. Since meeting backstage in LA at a David Bowie tribute gig in 2013, they have combined their disparate experiences ever since, in harmony, life and song.
After winning a label deal that launched his band Minibar into the studio with legendary producer T Bone Burnett, Simon found himself touring North America from coast to coast with Pete Yorn. Minibar’s life on the road helped him to hone the unique brand of world-weary optimism and musical eclecticism that typify his songwriting.
Celia earned her musical stripes in the clubs and studios of New York and Los Angeles, graduating to sing internationally with the likes of Pink, Burning Spear, Julia Fordham and Melody Gardot, and currently, Enrique Iglesias. As a singer-songwriter, Celia displays her own brand of wistful lyricism, tempered by her unique clarity of vocal delivery, as well as skills on stringed and percussion instruments. Find out more.
“The chemistry between Chavez and Petty is undeniable, and few duos possess the talent and skill to maintain such an extraordinary level and equal ebb and flow of expressive exchange.”
— Andrea Beenham, Music Connection magazine
“Petty Chavez write songs rooted in tradition but with lyrics that reflect their lives as 21st century musicians. With two strong and distinct voices that mesh in lush harmonies, there’s something going on here worth your investigation. “
— Nic Harcourt, KCSN 88.5 FM, Los Angeles
Join us for a relaxed evening under the stars and enjoy a safe night out while being serenaded by strings.

IF the number of people in your party doesn't match the number of tickets available in a section
1. WE'RE sorry, we know. When we're able to expand and offer my seating flexilbility safely, you'll be the first to know.
2. DUE to Covid regulations we have to pre-sell all tickets and because the venue is so intimate, we only have a max number of people we're able to fit for an optimal experience. If available, you can either buy a larger section and spread out, or try again for next month.
