The Playboy Jazz Festival took over the Hollywood Bowl this past weekend. The two-day festival saw droves of people coming together to enjoy the musical talents of both veteran and up-and-coming acts.

On Saturday Morgan James showed us exactly why she was picked to play the part of Teena Marie in Motown: The Musical. The majority of her set included songs from her debut album titled Hunter. Morgan belted out the lyrics to “Fed Up on You” which instantly became one of my new favorite songs! “Heart Shake” and “Say the Words” were pretty dope as well.

On June 4th Imagine LA will be holding The Imagine Ball at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. The Imagine Ball, a benefit concert created by Randall Kaplan and John Terzian, is one of Imagine LA’s major fundraisers.

Imagine LA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to “mobilizing volunteers to end family homelessness in Los Angeles. Imagine LA matches families exiting homelessness with volunteer teams through an innovative volunteer mentorship program. One Team, One Family. Through the consistency of this relationship, trust is built, skills are taught, and barriers are crossed that most families in homelessness never thought were possible.” Because of Imagine LA’s efforts “the cycle of homelessness and poverty is being broken and new relationships and opportunities are being forged for life.”
