Musicians on the engagement
Larry Perpoli and Joy Burnworth give this date one of the more fully identified Fin’s lineups in the batch. The available details place Perpoli on drums and Burnworth on vocals when those roles appear. Meanwhile, Fulton remained on keyboards. In addition, no repertoire appears in the available details, so no songs or additional musicians are assigned to the engagement.
The engagement took place at Fin’s Seafood Grill, 982 S Westlake Blvd in Westlake Village. The closed venue previously carried the Village Bayou name. Meanwhile, Fulton returned to this restaurant on many dates with changing personnel. Those appearances connected his keyboard work with a recurring Westlake Village performance setting.
Fin’s Seafood Grill in Westlake Village
Westlake Village had already developed into an established residential and commercial community by the time of these engagements. The City of Westlake Village traces the modern community to master planning that began in the 1960s. The Los Angeles County portion incorporated as a city in 1981. Fin’s therefore sat within a growing suburban community that supported restaurants, nightlife, and live entertainment.
Fulton continued working across Southern California as a pianist and keyboardist during this stretch of his career. His keyboardist and pianist credits include additional club, restaurant, concert, and private-event work. The Fin’s dates show one part of that broader performance schedule. The restaurant became a recurring stop within that stretch of live work. They also capture the changing small-group combinations that could appear from one engagement to the next.
The result is a compact picture of one professional date: Fulton on keyboards, the named personnel for that night, and Fin’s Seafood Grill as the setting. A listed payment, when available, adds another concrete detail to the engagement. In addition, those specifics distinguish this appearance from the many other Fin’s dates in Fulton’s schedule.
