With DJ Harmony Tividad Venue: The Getty Center Lala Lala is led by British-born singer-songwriter Lillie West, who moved to Los Angeles as a teen and later enrolled in the School of Art Institute of Chicago, gaining inspiration from the DIY music communities of both cities. The band’s perfectly simple indie rock blends post-punk with dream pop influences and incorporates vibrant synths and churning guitars that strike a balance between light and dark. These dynamic and intimate songs become a framework for West to explore inner complexities with a startling honesty that is both raw and angsty, as well as empowering and relatable. Written while grieving the death of a friend, recovering from a home invasion, and finding sobriety, West’s second full-length album The Lamb strikes a tone that Pitchfork describes as “both intimate and galactic, like a handwritten letter read aloud from a space shuttle.” Released last year by Hardly Art, Sup Pop’s sister label for propelling undiscovered bands, Lala Lala joins the ranks of breakouts La Luz, Tacocat, Shannon and the Clams, and Chastity Belt. Lala Lala lands at the Getty after hitting the road with Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers, opening for their acclaimed collaborative project Better Oblivion Community Center, as well as dates with indie-titans Death Cab for Cutie.

The fans and misfits who come and support the night are just as important as the performers & creates a sense of community. Michael hand picks  'kindred spirit' musicians- established recording artists, touring,local singer songwriters & up and comers to do the night with him . Everyone  does their own thirty minute set each - sometimes a final 'Sing Out' jam at the end of the show together. 'Outlaws' brings  the attitude & spirit of NY Greenwich Village early folk boom but with a modern 21st century creativity & sensibility  relevant to  today.

Venue: Burton W. Chace Park With his Grammy-nominated album Hollywood Africans, Jon Batiste dives deep into his own personal and cultural heritage, weaving an intimate and emotional tapestry out of original material and American standards that carries the listener from the early jazz of New Orleans to the present day. Guiding the acclaimed singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and leader of the group Stay Human—since 2015 the house band of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—was legendary producer T Bone Burnett. The classic songs on the album include the New Orleans standard “Saint James Infirmary,” “Smile,” “The Very Thought of You,” and Louis Armstrong’s iconic “What a Wonderful World,” which is slowed down to a soothing crawl. "On this record, I want us to bop, dance, laugh and cry to the sound of the music while we remember our black heroes and wield the superpowers they left us with," says Batiste.
