LOS ANGELES, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 20 and 27, KCRW and Metro Art will team up
for two special nights of music from 6:00
p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the historic Union Station in downtown
Los Angeles. KCRW DJs Jeremy Sole
and Chris Douridas will perform
dynamic sets for the first installment, while the following
Saturday features a special performance by sibling-led LA-based
jazz-folk band, The South Hill Experiment, amplified by KCRW DJs
Raul Campos and SiLVA. Each weekend, guests can visit pop-up bars
for light refreshments and alcoholic beverages while dancing the
night away in one of LA's architectural jewels.
"Guests will be treated to electrifying performances by KCRW's
renowned DJs and local band, The South Hill Experiment at Union
Station as we reunite with our friends at KCRW," shared
Heidi Zeller, Senior Manager,
Cultural Planning at LA Metro. "We look forward to a transcendent
summer evening of energetic live music."
"We couldn't be more excited about partnering with Metro Art to
throw an epic dance party in one of LA's iconic locations, Union
Station. And what's almost as good as the cool music and vibes? The
fact that it's the easiest one to get to...just take Metro," said
Nathalie Hill, KCRW Chief Audience
Officer and Summer Nights Field Guide Ranger.
About The South Hill Experiment
The South Hill
Experiment (S/H/E) is the band of brothers Baird and Gabe Acheson, raised in Baltimore and now based in Los Angeles. Both accomplished artists and
producers in their own right, the brothers built S/H/E as a place —
their warehouse studio on South Hill St., Los Angeles— and as a
state of mind: making music as catharsis. Last year kicked off
S/H/E's trilogy of LPs, with MOONSHOTS (LP1) marking the duo's
ethereal beginnings, and SUNSTRIKES (LP2) introducing guests such
as Jeff Parker and earning a co-sign
from the legendary David Byrne.
March 2024 saw the release of an even
more collaborative EP, South Hill & Friends, with features from
Karriem Riggins, Maxo, Buck Raines, and Sofía Campos. To promote these
projects, the brothers have pulled a variety of stunts, including a
24-hour live-streamed jam, free DIY rooftop shows, and running an
actual marathon for a music video. After sold out dates in
Los Angeles and New York, a live session on KCRW, and the
band's SXSW debut, the brothers are gearing up for the final
installment of their trilogy and most ambitious project to date,
EARTHBREAKS (LP3).
Those looking to attend can RSVP for the free July 20 event here and the free July 27 event here. To learn more about Los
