Above: “Uppers & Downers,” the third album from Marlon Rabenreither’s solo project Gold Star, was released last week. It’s a contemporary twist on classic rock sewn from the fabric of current-day Los Angeles — and, the songwriter says, the city’s “highs and lows.” Gold Star celebrates the album release with a show Thursday night at the Highland Park Ebell Club, where Shannon Lay and Harrison Whitford open. Get tickets here.
