Michelle Malone Duo
The Love Song (Flirt) Bar Night
September 4, 2026
7:00 PM
The Love Song Bar
450 S Main St, Los Angeles, CA 90013
Join us for a live, in-person event where Michelle Malone and Doug Kees share her soulful, rocking music, including a few songs from the new musical, The Flirt Bar. Don’t miss this Southern Rock legend in her Love Song Bar debut.
Michelle Malone is a fierce, genre-blending songwriter whose music spans through folk, roots rock, Americana, and country blues, and a career built on independence and artistic conviction. Malone is known for her emotionally direct writing, powerful vocals, and songs that balance grit with vulnerability. She’s an underground legend in the fabric of Georgia Music. She has been called “a satellite member” of the Indigo Girls by Amy Ray, a member of The Kristian Bush Band (Sugarland), performed with the Atlanta Symphony, Gregg Allman and Chuck Leavell of the Rolling Stones.
This special Los Angeles appearance will highlight songs from Susan Lambert Hatem’s The Flirt Bar!

Liza (not) at the Palace is a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience in which Victoria Libertore channels the iconic energy of Liza Minnelli. Libertore brings in her two-decade history as an intuitive medium to also channel messages from ‘the great beyond’ for the audience. This is a cabaret-meets-healing circle that will leave you titillated, transfixed and transformed. Written and performed by NYC and Los Angeles-based actor, improv artist, writer and producer, Victoria Libertore. Co-created with and directed by Rebecca Feldman, the creator of the Tony Award-winning musical comedy “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” Produced by Susan Lambert Hatem and Katherine Nolan.
