This Week’s 'Editor’s Pick'
Leila Avila Sings for her Supper at Plate 38 Thursday
Imagine Peggy Lee, with perhaps some Ella Fitzgerald and a few other classic women in Jazz and you’ll begin to get where Leila Avila is coming from and where she’s heading. An old soul in a young, petite body will absolutely astound you as she does wherever she plays. Avila has already worked with Oingo Boingo, Quetzal and The Specials. She was also a backup vocalist for the popular Josh Groban when he appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno as well as The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Like her dad, Avila started music at a very tender age of around 5 years and added her voice for the children’s choir background vocals for some of Oingo Boingo’s recordings. By 11, she was playing piano and guitar as well as writing her own songs and music. Plate 38 is a place for magic not only in the kitchen but also on stage. Call for upcoming schedule or check their website. Leila will be playing from 8PM. Plate 38 _361 East Colorado Boulevard Pasadena, (626) 793-7100. -Photo by Terry Miller
