Firepit Sessions Present King Washington

Adam Labov has an eye for musical talent, and the Los Angeles native cultivates his keen awareness by giving back, with an intimate concert experience around a firepit in his personal backyard. The relaxed vibe provides the perfect setting for food, drinks, and a sound quality that far surpasses any Los Angeles venue. You’d think the garden setting would only warrant an exclusive folksy vibe, but Labov knows how to present the perfect amalgam of genres, and even rock musicians have their place in this one-of-a-kind setting. For his latest Firepit Session Session, King Washington performed, and their incredible harmonies are worth sharing with the world. The humble group has been at it for over eight years, and they deserve everything coming to them. Listen below.

For the Record: BAZ: An Unforgettable Experience

Your live music experience gets re-imagined with an unforgettable performance of ‘For the Record: Baz,’ a 360 degree concert experience showcasing the songs from Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet,Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby. The captivating cabaret series is brought to you by the same team from the acclaimed ‘For the Record: Tarantino (Shane Scheel, Christopher Lloyd Bratten and Anderson Davis),’ and the breathtaking extravaganza will entertain audiences at DBA Hollywood through November 23. The show is worth it for Joanna Jones alone, who elevated the entire ensemble during her chilling rendition of Florence + The Machine’s “Over the Love.” I’ve posted a video of her performance below, but it simply doesn’t do this stunning singer justice. She’s young and likely unaware of her future super stardom. Go see Baz. You won’t regret it.
