Long Beach guitarist Gregg Young has a regular weekend gig at Hollywood’s landmark ArcLight Cinemas on Sunset Boulevard, and Christmas is no exception. Young is billing tonight’s show as a “holiday celebration,” with a variety of musical styles including “smooth jazz, rock, blues, R&B, reggae, movie themes and seasonal favorites.” Live music on Christmas is rare, and Young’s ArcLight shows are free. Young’s 2nd Street Band includes a revolving cast of local players; for this gig, he’ll be joined by bassist Kirkwood Coakley and keyboardist Ming Freeman, whose touring credits include perennial new-age favorite Yanni.
