The 19th Annual Taste of Soul Family Festival is less than 10 days away and excitement is building because Tiffany Haddish is the celebrity chair and Eric Benét headlines the Radio Free 102.3 KJLH Music Stage.
Benet said labels sign deals because they initially believe in what the artists brings to them creatively, but then a team is brought in to change who the artist is organically. “Our whole approach at JBR is to be aware that the artist is the captain of that artist’s career,” said Benet.
The celebration honored Motown music legends, Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson.
The City of Inglewood partnered with Clippers Arena Inglewood, Consolidated Disposal Service (A Republic Service Company), West Basin Municipal Water District and 102.3 FM, RadioFree KJLH for the annual Earth Day Music Festival, Saturday, April 20, 2019, on the South Lawn of City Hall.
The Skirball Cultural Center announces the lineup for its twenty-second annual free summertime live music series, Sunset Concerts. This year’s artists showcase local and global influences from Malawian Nyanja Vibes, socially conscious R&B, psychedelic dream-pop, and Afro-Americana to experimental indie rock and Ethiopian funk. In addition to pioneering new sounds inspired by their own cultural identities and traditions, they utilize their art to bridge communities. Presented every summer since 1997 in the Skirball’s picturesque hillside setting, Sunset Concerts features both emerging and established talents, drawing music fans from across greater Los Angeles.
Lauded singer-songwriter Goapele kicks off the twenty-second season of the Skirball Cultural Center’s Sunset Concerts on Thursday, July 26, at 8:00 p.m, with her deeply personal take on R&B, soul, funk, and hip-hop. The evening begins with DJ Mamabear of dublab, who will spin a set at 6:30 p.m.
