episode 25: Laurel Canyon Playlist with Emmeline Summerton of Lost Canyons LA
To close out Season Three, which celebrates the California Sound in the 60s and 70s, My Rock Moment teamed up with Emmeline Summerton of Lost Canyons LA to create our very own Laurel Canyon playlist.
Emmeline writes for the Topanga New Times, an LA publication that circulates to all residents of the canyons. She’s also the writer and creator of the Instagram account Lost Canyons LA which celebrates the history, music, art, and fashion of LA’s iconic Canyon communities.
