Venice is a band from Venice Beach, California that consists of two sets of brothers: Michael and Mark Lennon, and their cousins, Kipp and Pat Lennon.\u00a0 As a band, the Lennons have recorded and performed together since the 1980s.\u00a0 Their music reflects many of their influences while growing up in the small, eclectic and culturally diverse beach town for which they are named.\u00a0 Venice\u2019s sound is at once familiar and fresh, their classic rock and folk influences apparent in their pop sensibilities.\u00a0 Their hybrid of folk\/rock\/soul is relevant, alive and still growing, with many fans worldwide considering them the torchbearers of the Southern California, west coast sound.<\/p>\n

Venice\u2019s trademarks are their vocal harmonies, (reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young or the Eagles), their personal lyrics, and their communal live shows; their live show is just as effective whether acoustic in an intimate theatre or an electric show with their full band at sprawling outdoor festivals.<\/p>\n

As a group or as individuals, they have performed and\/or recorded with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr, Michael Jackson, David Crosby, Stevie Nicks, Jackson Browne, Brian Wilson, Don Henley, Elton John, Michael McDonald, Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Ambrosia, Heart, Cher, Rick Springfield, America, and the list goes on.<\/p>\n

The Lennons spent most of 2010-2013 as backing vocalists performing in the 219 show, record-breaking worldwide arena and stadium tour of \u201cRoger Waters\u2019 The Wall\u201d (Pink Floyd). Venice was invited to join such artists as Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley, Ben Harper and Lyle Lovett in contributing a track to the 2014 compilation album, Looking Into You: A Tribute To Jackson Browne<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For more than twenty-five years, Venice has enjoyed a great level of success in the Netherlands, where their harmonies and musicality are considered a modern extension of what many Europeans call \u201cWest Coast Music\u201d.\u00a0 Venice continues to cultivate their reputation overseas and share a longstanding friendship with their audiences, where their post-show meet & greets can sometimes last nearly as long as the shows. \u201cThe fans are what make everything possible\u201d, says Venice\u2019s lead guitarist and producer, Michael, \u201cand we don\u2019t forget that.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cWe stay after every show to shake hands, take photos.\u201d, says Michael\u2019s brother Marky.\u00a0 Lead vocalist Kipp adds, \u201cWe\u2019ve watched so many bands come and go. They have a hit song on the radio, or they’re hot for a few years then they break up. We just slowly chug along making albums, touring\u2026and living our lives. We\u2019ve got bills, children, and all the responsibilities that regular people have\u2026and Venice is not a steady income\u2026but it’s what we love to do so we forge ahead\u201d.\u00a0 Kipp\u2019s brother Pat chimes in, \u201cWe\u2019re fortunate enough to make our records in our own home studio, then travel half way across the globe to perform our music and make new friends around the world at the same time. It doesn’t suck.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Venice hybrid of folk\/rock\/soul is relevant, alive and still growing, with many fans worldwide considering them the torchbearers of the Southern California sound. Roll down the window and feel the breeze.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
