Tickets
A songwriters round of four artists, all on stage together, taking turns playing songs, inspiring each other’s choices for the evening...with the final song for each artist being a surprise reinterpretation of a song by another artist sitting on stage.
Session 1 features Robbie Gil, Zach Jones, Evan Watson, and host Martin Rivas. Proceeds will benefit World Central Kitchen, a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization that is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises, including the recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area.
Artists have always seemed to come together and agitate the waters when they need agitating. To do the things that artists have always done to help people make this planet a more inspiring, more understanding, more inclusive, more tolerant, more habitable place.
2025 is no exception; in fact, 2025 may be the greatest time of need of all.
We hope you’ll join us.
