Downtown Santa Ana Becomes an Open Stage for Local Artists

Open Stage has recently become Santa Ana’s coolest new showcase for local artists and musicians! Every last Saturday of the month, Briana Harley brings us along to meet some incredibly talented individuals around Santa Ana. This month, Open Stage takes us to some interesting spots throughout Downtown like the Spurgeon building, the Butterfly House, and the Blue Lot! Open Stage feels more like a hangout with good friends than a show; however, viewers are given a deep insight of what kind of music is being created by a versatile group of artists in Santa Ana.

Twitch Kid opens the show with an entire segment of performances to original songs! Twitch Kid is a local artist who not only is a unique musician, but also focuses on artistic expression through visuals. Twitch Kid’s style is very much experimental rap with inspirations from drag and theatrical makeup! Shot at the historical Spurgeon building, Open Stage took viewers on a surreal experience with Twitch Kid. ​

The next location was the Butterfly House where Alexander Lee gave a beautiful performance on piano. Alexander is a talented local pianist. His performance was a breath of fresh air and it was nice to enjoy the beauty of simplicity.

Briana took us to the top of the parking structure on 3rd and Broadway, which is close to the Artist Village and the 2nd Street Promenade. There, they recorded multiple artists performing live! Lizzy and the Palm performed songs with Megan Fransisco, Logan, and Briana Harley, proving how well these friends can collaborate with each other! Lizzy performed additional songs that really showed how versatile and raw her sound is. She takes listeners on a journey with her that is truly unique.

John Roseboro also performed with Lizzy on acoustic guitar. His beautiful style of classical guitar was met with Lizzy on vocals! His performance is the kind of music you just want to listen to after a long day. Check out his work to find out more about what he does.

To close out the night, an amazing local band, The Offtrax, performed on the Blue Lot! They are a high energy, surf punk band that has a lot of character and a fun sound. They performed some originals and a cover, which ended the night on a perfect note! Playing right in front of a beautiful mural, this scene really captures the essence of Santa Ana! 
If you missed this episode of Open Stage, you can still watch it here! Join us every last Saturday of the month to watch Open Stage live to support local artists!
