Here’s the Reuters’ recap on the 27th Annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards in Hollywood. Interviews include the “Godmother of Punk” Patti Smith and pop star Katy Perry.

Join us for this week’s Indie Thursday featuring the musical stylings of Gene Loveland, a talented, engaging artist with songs that are at times insightful, poignant and even whimsical. The organic nature of his delivery could be described as a Springsteen & Dylan combo-plate. Read more about Gene at Myspace.

While enjoying the music, guests are encouraged to try the delicious appetizers, delightful entrees, and handcrafted signature cocktails available from the Lobby Bar.

All ages are welcome to these family-friendly events and, unlike a lot of venues in Hollywood, there’s no cover. That means free for everyone!

Merely because it is a journalist’s prerogative to include such fanciful details about an event like “where,” “what,” “why,” “who” and occasionally for the sophisticates among us, “how,” the coverage from this last weekend’s big giant, amazing 2010 ASCAP “I Create Music” Expo happened to occasionally point out that it all went down at the Renaissance Hollywood. What? That’s us! Actually, that’s “where” but who’s counting? Oh, who… Check out the latest coverage below:
