With the many concerts happening in Los Angeles every week, it’s not often you get to experience an outdoor concert in an intimate amphitheater with one of LA’s most beloved singer-songwriters. And this is why you absolutely cannot miss Devendra Banhart’s upcoming show at the Ford Theater in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 2nd. Known for his resplendent storytelling told through his unique blend of folk, rock, and world music, Banhart’s performances always leave fans aglow, basking in the warmth of his words and charm. Tickets start at $45 and are almost sold out. You can also subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when we drop a giveaway for this beautiful performance.
On his latest album, Flying Wig, the Venezuelan-American artist envelops himself in a search for emotional refuge. The album is full of swelling introspection and engrossing soundscapes. The grandiosity of it all must be heard live.
It wasn’t too long ago that we caught the beloved singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart perform at the Hollywood Bowl opening for Carla Morrison. What left a lasting impression wasn’t just the beautiful sounds he created but also his endless charm and candid stage banter. Even my 70-year-old mother was in awe of his endearing persona, flowing mini-dress and all.
Indeed, if you love experiencing live music and artists you have never seen live before, we can’t recommend Devendra Banhart at The Ford enough. And if you’re already familiar, then you probably have already secured your tickets to the show.

Relish in the Element of Surprise
Whether he shows up on stage in a dress or sleek suit, you never know what kind of Devendra you’ll get, which is one of the many exciting facets of his performances. He often serenades in Spanish; sometimes, he’ll be joined by a special guest or two, and you never know what he will go on about (LOVE his candid stage banter). You just don’t know what you’re in store for when at a Devendra Banhart concert. He’s like a grabbag of delicious treats.
Bask in the Warmth of Marina Allen’s Gentle Serenade
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Marina Allen will set the warm mood for the evening. With a classic folk sound fused with a bit of crisp Americana, Allen’s voice soothes the soul. The artist just released her third album, Eight Point Star, last June. With lyrics that read like pages from a diary, her music comes to life, guiding her journey through self-discovery while she invites listeners into her world; truly a lovely experience.
