Tour Overview
Although best known for its film studios and Hollywood glitz, Los Angeles has long been one of the best places to see live performances and also to delve into its musical past. With the Legendary Capitol Records, the colourful rock ‘n’ roll history of Sunset Strip and the Rock Walk on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame - music history can be found in abundance. We will continue the Californian music trail up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco before we cross the state line into Nevada, where Frank Sinatra once owned the Cal-Neva Lodge. The musical theme weaves its way throughout this fantastic West Coast Music Tour!
