Had you been checking into TVD LA lately, you’d have noticed it had gotten a little, well…sleepy. (They seem to come and go in that City of Angels.) Our hangout has a renewed spring to its step this week with the arrival of Jennifer Quiroz, a singer/songwriter in her own right, who’s now manning TVD’s LA outpost daily.
She’s got one today we think is smart to share far beyond LA. —Ed.
LA singer/songwriter Joel Eckels is bringing the local music community together this Friday, June 10th to help the victims of the catastrophic tornado that affected his home state. Inspired by the fundraisers his friends and family were organizing back home, Eckels is bringing his own local community together to do what he can, despite now living so far away. No stranger to rallying artists together for a good cause – Eckels raised $1000 for Haiti last year with a similar event – he hopes to be able to raise both money and awareness for the cause, one that is understandably so close to his heart. All proceeds from Friday’s concert will go to Convoy of Hope.
Being held at Room 5 – one of the most intimate rooms in Los Angeles – the show will bring together several staples in the singer/songwriter scene. This show is about bringing the community together – the community at large and our own little community of musicians and music lovers. There will be performances by: Gaby Moreno, Keaton Simons, Angel Taylor, Justine Bennett, Trevor Menear, Stephen Wrabel, Jenni Alpert, Tim Fagan, Michael Doman, Derek Carter, Joel Eckels, Clare Means, Leslie Lowe, Josh Damigo, Ryan Darton, Patrick Joseph and Kelly McGrath.
Here are the details:
Friday, June 15th | Room 5 | 9pm | $10 Donation | 21+
All proceeds go to Convoy of Hope
