Guess What? I Love You: Album/Book Release Tour

Come celebrate with Mike Maimone, on tour for the release of his 15th album and 1st book, both called, “Guess What? I Love You.”
Maimone’s piano-based bluesy pop/rock music is often compared to Randy Newman, Leon Russell, Tom Waits, and Dr. John.
Los Angeles Magazine called his new memoir “an honest, moving account of love, loss and the radical act of staying open to possibility,” and Don Lemon says, “Mike writes with vulnerability and clarity, refusing easy answers or tidy endings. What he offers instead is something more powerful: permission to feel, to love openly, to grieve honestly, and to keep choosing truth even when it’s difficult.”
This show features Mike performing songs from his new album on solo piano, along with a few old favorites and covers. Guiding the audience on an emotional journey, he will also read six short selections from his book. This unforgettable set of words and music will stir the soul of anyone who attends!
Doors open at 6, show starts at 7 and runs about 75 minutes.
