Tonight's bill brings together Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, multi-instrumentalist David Lindley (a key member of Jackson Browne's musical circle when his career took off), songwriter Jack Tempchin (an early associate of the Eagles) and Honk, the Laguna Beach-based rock-folk-jazz-surf group that was a regular at the club.

Tempchin, the San Diego-based singer-songwriter who co-wrote the Eagles hit "Already Gone" and wrote "Peaceful Easy Feeling," said the Bear holds a special place for him. "I opened for Hoyt Axton, who was one of my heroes." Proceeds from the four shows -- two each night -- benefit Sweet Relief, the Huntington Beach-based group that provides various forms of aid to musicians in need.
