Echo Park Rising, 2025: Photos

Tawny Ellis
Echo Park Rising is an annual celebration of music and other art, where all sorts of establishments temporarily become music venues. It's one of those times when you really get a strong sense of community in this city. I always have a good time, and I always get turned onto at least one or two new bands. Yesterday I didn't really have a game plan or agenda. As long as my girlfriend and I got to Raven's Gallery in time to catch Tawny Ellis' set, I was happy. And that we did. We caught a few other bands at various spots along Sunset Blvd. (and, yes, were turned onto some new artists), got some food, checked out some art, looked through the wares of various vendors, and enjoyed ourselves in the relaxed atmosphere of the festival. This is what life is all about.

Here are some photos from the day (we didn't stay into the night, because Fernando Perdomo was having a birthday concert in North Hollywood, and I wanted to be sure to get there early and grab a seat in the front).
