Event Details

Since opening its doors again to the public on December 1, 2025, The Plaza Theatre has featured comedy, classical, opera, pop and rock music, along with documentary and classic films. Now, The Plaza Theatre will be shining a spotlight on local and emerging talent from all corners of the Coachella Valley.

Brian Ray (part-time Palm Springs resident, member of Paul McCartney’s band, and member of the Palm Springs Plaza Theatre Foundation’s board) and Matt King (award-winning Coachella Valley journalist, events promoter at Dunes Booking, and musician) are teaming up to offer Brian Ray Presents: Desert Scene, an event designed to unify the local music community.

As local music hubs close, and venues increasingly cater toward touring acts and established names, opportunities for local artists shrink. Desert Scene will spotlight emerging talent from all the desert cities on a historic local stage, and help foster connections throughout the valley’s creative community.

The inaugural Brian Ray Presents: Desert Scene event will feature three artists whose modern twist on classic soul and Latin rock have garnered them local adoration and global recognition.
