Venice and The Pine Mountain Logs

Main image for event titled Venice and The Pine Mountain Logs


Heralding from Venice Beach, California, Venice consists of two sets of brothers: Michael and Mark Lennon, and their cousins, Kipp and Pat Lennon. As a band, the Lennons have recorded and performed together since the 1980s. Their music is a reflection of many of their influences while growing up in the small, eclectic and culturally diverse beach town for which they are named. Their sound is at once familiar and fresh, their classic rock and folk influences apparent in their pop sensibilities.

Venice’s trademarks are their harmonies, personal lyrics and high energy, communal shows. These garner them huge ovations and encores at virtually every performance they’ve given, from intimate theaters to sprawling festivals, from the US to Europe.

The Pine Mountain Logs’ repertoire of high energy classic covers range from Alanis to Zeppelin and everything in between, all reinterpreted with that Logs touch, that shows off their wicked sense of humor. The Police's "Message in a Bottle" might unexpectedly turn into the theme from "Gilligan's Island." The chorus to David Bowie's "Fame" could transition into the chorus from Irene Cara's 80's anthem, "Fame: I'm Gonna Live Forever." Any song could end with the 70's tag "Solid Gold" and often does. This is not your average cover band - when the Pine Mountain Logs really cut loose they create the biggest communal party in town!
