1926-1947 American Songbook
Soft Swing, Midnight Melodies
After more than a decade at the helm of a premier Westwood guitar boutique, Jonah Rivera has pivoted from serving the industry’s elite to leading his own solo residency project. A baritone vocalist and veteran guitarist, Jonah currently serves as a section player for the Robin Simone Hollywood Orchestra, with recent performances at Herb Alpert’s Vibrato in Bel Air and the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. He pairs a Cornell-trained poetic sensibility with the technical precision of a curated 1926–1947 American Songbook repertoire, delivering a cinematic noir atmosphere tailored for signature rooms.
