Also, didn't the bookings manager for Room 5 also manage bookings for another venue? Is this it?
The venue has good reviews:

549 reviews, 4-1/2 stars average
The Rigs seem to be taking this gig seriously as they started rehearsing for the show two weeks ago.

I really liked their music, but their fan base must not be into YouTube. I was surprised at the low number of views. The Troubadour, I would think, is kind of a big deal, as far a clubs go. James Taylor and Carol King recorded a video concert there, Live at the Troubadour.
From their site: Since opening in 1957, the legendary Troubadour club in West Hollywood has helped launch some of contemporary music's most talented performers. Greats such as Elton John, James Taylor and Tom Waits performed there early in their careers, and it continues to be a destination for cutting-edge acts from around the world.
The Troubadour also remains a popular venue among serious music fans who enjoy listening to live music in an intimate and historically rich setting.
Other big names who got their start there:
After a gig by resident band The Men, Bob Dylan comes onstage for an impromptu “folk-twist” jam session – attended only by Troubadour staff. Shortly afterward, Dylan makes pop music history by switching from folk to folk-rock.
The Byrds, who met at a Monday open mic, perform their classic take on Dylan’s “Tambourine Man” for the first time.
Buffalo Springfield make their live debut.
Neil Young plays his debut solo show in LA.
James Taylor makes his solo debut.
Cheech and Chong are discovered by Lou Adler at a Monday Hoot Night.
The Eagles’ Don Henley and Glenn Frey meet in the front bar.
Elton John makes his U.S. debut, introduced by Neil Diamond.
Neil Diamond releases Gold, an album recorded live at the Troubadour.
Kris Kristofferson makes his Los Angeles debut opening for Linda Rondstadt.
The list goes on and on http://www.troubadour.com/history
Very informative history of singing stars who came out of the Troubadour in LA. Thank you Kevin

RE: Haley at the Troubadour July 23rd
Thanks for posting the excellent video's Rachel! It made my morning. I think they sounded richer with a full band! I wonder if the original songs are a preview of the EP songs (Love is Worth Fighting For, Cake). I hope other vids are posted, especially Better. This seems to be a focus for the EP but has never been a big favorite of mine. The brief clip I heard however sounded 'better' then I remember.

RE: Haley at the Troubadour July 23rd
Since Rachel got the others up, here's "Better", I took my time to fix the sound
Quote:Tusk @HaleysTusk 5s5 seconds ago Los Angeles, CA
@HaleyReinhart performs "Better" co-written by @andersgrahn for her @olemajorlyindie produced EP at the Troubadour
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBaGS_3XA2E …
I had Creep set up to go in the "rush" to post, but turned out the audio had hiss and some crackling. Without Wi-Fi nothing I could do, so took a breath, didn't publish Creep, worked on fixing Better's audio, got a pic from Greg. Better to be late with good quality, than to hurry with not good quality IMO
Rachel's audio, the iPhones are really good, even close up. I should have listened to her and put behind my Apple bias and got one instead of the underwhelming g3 I ended up with.
Catching a plane now, will take my time, work on the other's post when ready....
After I video Morgan and Blake tomorrow in Seattle

RE: Haley at the Troubadour July 23rd
Thanks everyone! You are all so very welcome.
MAN. I swear I'm not being biased. Haley looked and sounded better than ever last night. Her stage presence was incredible. She OWNED it.
I haven't seen her with an actual band (other than PMJ) for awhile, and boy what a difference.
I remember seeing her open for Macy Gray, it all seemed kinda shaky and not her best.
She's grown so much, the moves, dancing, crowd interaction. Holy crap. It's like night and day difference. Just watch old videos of her performing My Cake and then watch last night. Wow. I'm in awe.
I told her she sounded amazing with the band, best I've heard. She thanked me.
She is indeed going to Australia. But not Asia. She's going to be gone for quite a long time, lots of traveling in August and September coming up.
She said she has her photoshoot for her EP soon this week I believe! I asked if she knew what the EP title was gonna be, she kinda smiled nervously as if I was gonna make her tell me, I said it's ok I'll wait! haha!
I took my friend with me to the show. He's a musician and song writer so he appreciated all the bands. He agreed with me Haley is too good to be opening for people, and that she needs to be the main event

Thank you so much for sharing Haley's live performance with all the Haliens 
Tusk, I loved watching the clip with Scott talk about filming Creep with Haley! Look forward to seeing your vids! 
Haley looks so beautiful, she is so confident, and her dance style on stage has evolved since joining PMJ. She has always been a good dancer, but it looks more natural, and she looks so happy.
