2026-03-28 20:00 - 21:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Hotel Cafe, 1623 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, 90028, United States
Russell Jamie Johnson is an American singer-songwriter and actor whose music blends indie, folk, and cinematic Americana into a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. With a voice that moves from quiet vulnerability to soaring intensity, his songs are driven by raw lyricism, fingerpicked guitars, and anthemic, emotionally charged choruses.
Originally from Linton, Indiana and now based in New York City, Johnson’s live performances pull audiences into a deeply personal world—one shaped by heartbreak, longing, and the echoes of past relationships. His set moves between stripped-down, confessional moments and swelling, cinematic builds that feel closer to a film than a traditional concert.
Whether performing solo or with a full band, Russell creates a space that feels immediate, nostalgic, and alive—where every song lands like a memory you didn’t realize you still carried.
His upcoming self-titled album, Russell Jamie Johnson, captures that same energy: a collection of songs about love, loss, and the moments that stay with you long after they’re gone.

Jet Jurgensmeyer
2026-03-28 21:00 - 22:30 | Hotel Cafe, 1623 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, 90028, United States
From comedy to drama, award-nominated actor Jet Jurgensmeyer has brought dynamic characters to life in film and television, quickly solidifying him as “one to watch” in the entertainment industry.
Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Jet has been entertaining audiences since he could walk. Though known for his work on screen, Jet has always had a natural love and passion for music. Jet demonstrates his ability to deliver powerful messages with heartfelt vocals. Jet debuted his first single “Everything Will Be Alright” from his self-titled album in January 2018. Recently, he has released tracks from his latest album, Phase 1: Discover, with titles such as “Fast Forward,” “Compassion,” and “Talk to God.” With the perfect blend of country and pop, Jet’s most recent single, “Talk to God,” delivers to his listeners a style all his own.
Jet leant his talents and brought a new perspective to the series regular role of “Boyd” on FOX’s hit comedy, “Last Man Standing.” He is also providing his voice to the Disney animated series, “TOTS”, in the lead role of Pip the penguin. In 2017, Jet was seen starring opposite Valerie Azlynn and Jackée Harry in the indie feature film “Cupid’s Proxy” (Simba Entertainment) which premiered on VOD nationwide September 12, 2017. Jet was then seen starring as grandson ‘Skip,’ in the award-winning NBC series “Will & Grace” opposite Sean Hayes (October 2017). He then starred as fan-favorite Stinky Peterson in the film reprise of the popular 90s/00s television series, “Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie,” which premiered on November 24, 2017. Jet then went on to voice a role in the 20th Century Fox film, “Ferdinand,” released in theaters nationwide on December 15, 2017. Jet voiced the role of Young Guapo, the counterpart to the adult character, played by former NFL Superbowl Champion and MVP, Peyton Manning.
Additional recent film credits for Jet include Inspire Network’s “The Legend of 5 Mile Cave”, starring in Nickelodeon’s “Legends of the Hidden Temple,” Disney’s “Adventures in Babysitting,” appearing in the Oscar-nominated, Clint Eastwood film “American Sniper,” Universal’s “The Little Rascals Save the Day” as Spanky, PureFlix Cinema’s “Woodlawn,” and alongside Reese Witherspoon in “Devil’s Knot.” On the television front, Jet boasts an extensive list of credits including “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” [CBS], “Hot in Cleveland” [TV Land], “Marry Me” [NBC], “Grey’s Anatomy” [ABC], “Austin & Ally” [The Disney Channel] and “Black-ish” [ABC]. He has also lent his voice to several animated projects over the years, including series regular roles for both Nickelodeon’s “Shimmer and Shine” and “Bubble Guppies,” as well as Amazon’s “Stinky & Dirt.” He has also been featured in several episodes of Disney’s “Special Agent Oso” and “Pickle and Peanut.”
Jet and his family currently split their time between Tennessee, Missouri, and California. When not acting, he loves to hang out on his family’s farm, ride horses, go fishing and spend time outdoors. He is also active in sports, playing soccer, basketball, and golf, as well as perfecting his skills in Kenpo Karate, where he holds a purple belt.
On the charity front, Jet has become an avid supporter of The Ryan Seacrest Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring today’s youth through entertainment and education focused initiatives. One of RSF’s first initiatives was to build broadcast media centers, named Seacrest Studios, within pediatric hospitals for patients to explore the creative realms of radio, television and new media. Jet consistently visits these studios across the country and has raised over $25,000 towards building more of them.

Andrew McMahon & Friends
2026-03-28 21:00 - 22:30 | Hotel Cafe, 1623 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, 90028, United States
Every seven to ten years, the human body replaces itself with a new set of cells. Not only does
this physical turnover occur multiple times over the course of a lifetime, it serves as a decent
metaphor for personal and professional growth. If anyone understands renewal, it’s Andrew
McMahon. Over the last two decades, the veteran indie-pop singer-songwriter has experienced
musical rebirth many times, ever since he started entertaining audiences in the ‘00s alt-pop
outfit Something Corporate, and he’s consistently arrived on the other side stronger than ever.
After leading Something Corporate to major chart success in the early 2000s, McMahon soon
resurfaced with the more personal solo project Jack’s Mannequin, then moved on to release
numerous hook-packed albums under his own name using the moniker Andrew McMahon in the
Wilderness. In 2006, following his own battle with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), he
launched the Dear Jack Foundation, which provides programming to benefit adolescents and
young adults diagnosed with cancer. Through it all, the East Coast-born, SoCal-based singer
and musical collaborator has created a stunning catalog of introspective, impossibly catchy
piano pop. His enthralling new project, Tilt At The Wind No More (Nettwerk), is just the latest
example of his immeasurable staying power.
Arriving four years after his 2018 album Upside Down Flowers, Tilt At The Wind No More
captures McMahon at a turning point: celebrating his 40th birthday and 15 years of marriage,
raising a daughter, working through past traumas in therapy, hiring a whole new team, writing a
memoir — it’s all in there. As he looks back at a monumental career, Tilt At The Wind No More
simultaneously looks excitedly to the future. “I’m not one of these people who is worried about
getting older,” McMahon says. “Even as a kid, I always felt like I was carrying around an old
soul. But the fact that I’ve been in the music business for more than half of my life, turning 40
feels like a milestone. I’ve lived an amazing story, and I wanted to use the record to reflect on
some of that — and say, ‘Okay, what next?’”
In order to realize his vision for Tilt At The Wind No More, McMahon called up producer Tommy
English (K.Flay, WALK THE MOON, Carly Rae Jepsen), whom he had worked with while
making his 2017 album Zombies On Broadway (English produced “Brooklyn, You’re Killing Me”
and “Island Radio”). McMahon also got in the studio with producer Jeremy Hatcher (Harry
Styles, Shawn Mendes), co-wrote a new song, “Skywriting,” with K.Flay — whom McMahon
calls “such a trip,” adding, ”She has such big, generous energy. I know few people like her” —
and even had his daughter Cecilia sing on two songs: “Smoke And Ribbons” and “Nobody Tells
You When You’re Young.”
The end result? Tilt At The Wind No More features 11 big-hearted songs that burst with joy and
lessons learned. One such truth is embedded in the mid-tempo jam “Nobody Tells You When
You’re Young”: “The things nobody tells you when you’re young, that some friends will become
strangers,” McMahon sings before observing how “a rebel heart won’t listen.”
On the jubilant first single “Stars,” McMahon brought in LA singer-songwriter Ella Vos to sing
backup. “Most of my best love songs find me in the morning after a fight,” McMahon laughs,
adding how the chorus lyrics — “the stars that fell for you, left holes in my roof” — are some of
his favorite to date. “I don’t even really know what it means, but I know what it means to me,” he
says. “There’s something beautiful about loving someone for all of their baggage, their beauty
and everything in between.”
Likewise, on “Last Rites,” which conjures Cure-like drum beats, McMahon again pens an ode to
his wife and considers how love songs evolve with long-term relationships. “These last few
pandemic years, I think people’s bonds have either deepened or fractured. ‘Last Rites’ is
reflective of a connection that goes so much deeper than even I can put into words.”
Elsewhere, K.Flay’s co-write “Skywriting” takes flight with a propulsive beat, lush synths, and
pounding piano. “Skywriting” is the most “existential” track on the album, McMahon says,
adding, “The act of Skywriting is a big gesture, to see something painted across the sky. You
own a place in the clouds for a minute, and then it just disappears.”
He continues: “I think it really is a metaphor for this idea of creating for a living. There are things
I’ve done that I consider my best work that nobody ever talks about. And that’s okay. This song
was a chance to make peace with that and celebrate a life spent making things regardless of
the outcome.”
Finally, on the sprawling, orchestral “Lying On The Hood Of Your Car,” which McMahon jokingly
describes as “surf-noir,” the singer contemplates an earlier time in his life — a bygone era when
he could drive around town with friends. “We’d always end the night sitting on the hood of the
car, looking out at the beach and reflecting on all the dumb shit we had just gotten into,” he
laughs. “That was the genesis of the idea — this sense of the world being so far in front of you
that you don’t even realize you’ve already done some living, and that feeling of being young with
so many possibilities. This record accesses a lot of that nostalgia.”
Though it is steeped in nostalgia and optimism for the future, above all else, McMahon wanted
to make Tilt At The Wind No More sound “transportive.” “I wanted people to be able to put on
their headphones and hear a universe in these songs,” he says. “I think we pushed hard to
make this music really adventurous. We took the singer-songwriter medium and said, ‘Let’s dig
deep and make it sound really fun and out there and wrap people up in these arrangements. It’s
one of the things I’m most proud of: the way it sounds.”

Laura Marano with Mike Schiavo
2026-03-29 19:00 - 22:00
While she has portrayed a variety of characters on the big screen, Laura
Marano’s most raw form of self-expression can only be witnessed when she
steps on the stage to sing her songs.
From 2019 to 2022, Marano introduced fans to her true musical
identity –and simultaneously her most personal conscience– with
her ME, YOU, and Us EP trilogy. Her music was met with praise
from music critics and tastemakers alike, with support from MTV,
Billboard, NME, Ones To Watch, Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal &
more. With the 2022 release of Netflix’s worldwide #1 film The
Royal Treatment, starring and produced by Marano, she also
landed prominent syncs of her Us chart-topping singles, “Dance
With You” with Grey and “Worst Kind of Hurt” with Wrabel. She
topped off a seminal year with her first headline tour, bringing her
music to life and connecting with her global fandom with sold out
meet & greets across the US.
Marano entered LA’s entertainment industry at the tender age of five,
appearing in legendary movies like Finding Nemo and Superbad. Her superstar
potential was quickly actualized in her widely known role as singer/songwriter
Ally in the Disney Channel hit series, Austin & Ally, winning awards like
Favorite TV Actress at the Kids’ Choice Awards and propelling her foray into
music. While Laura’s emotive songwriting and deep connection with fans came
naturally from day one, her early days in music were riddled with one-sided
major label deals and a slow emergence of singer/songwriter Laura we know
and love today.
After the release of her 2023 debut album i may be an actress but i can’t fake
how i feel, Marano took a break from music, as she filmed four films back to
back. Now, as she continues to work on new music, she is excited to celebrate
the five year anniversary of her second EP, YOU, which was released in 2020
during the pandemic. During that release, Marano was unable to fully realize
the visual creative she had planned, which is why she decided to make a
musical short film celebrating the era, and introducing her first new song in two
years: You(Baggage).
2026 brings new music and a new movie, Original Sound, starring Marano,
David Lambert, and Eric Stoltz. The musical film, releasing April 24th, has
songs Marano cowrote with Erik Blicker and Glenn Schloss. The film’s
soundtrack will also be released in April.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in New Jersey, Mike Schiavo is a songwriter and artist based in Los Angeles.

He has co-written songs for artists like charli d’amelio, Kelsy Karter & The Heroines and Goody Grace, Bentley Robles and more, while as an artist he has shared the stage with major acts including Lauv, A R I Z O N A, LeAnn Rimes and Melanie Martinez. “binging”, the first single from his upcoming EP, is out everywhere now.

Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Jessy Fury and his band The Sound ignite stages with electrifying performances fueled by raw energy and emotional depth. With a sound blending rock and roll grit with the allure of new wave synthesizers, his songs are full of longing, rebellion and emotional authenticity.

Los Angeles-based indie dance rock outfit Bittersweethearts fuse modern indie energy with shimmering synth-driven new wave vibes. Their sound blends punchy rock hooks, danceable beats, and honest, hard-hitting songs about heartbreak and life’s messy moments—equal parts grit, glamour, and groove.

Emily Brooks is on a mission to shatter the black-and-white boxes people live in. She dreams in color—loud, unapologetic, and alive. Through fearless storytelling and raw rock energy, she turns pain into power and chaos into art. Her work challenges people to feel again—to get mad, to break, to rise—because transformation begins the moment we stop numbing out and start getting honest. Emily isn’t just making music—she’s creating a movement: one that dares people to feel everything, forgive it all, and live wide awake.

Born in Ukraine, raised in Paris, and now based in Los Angeles, Ana Luna is a natural-born storyteller whose music unfolds like a dream—celestial, sultry, and steeped in cinematic grandeur. While her creative roots lie in both acting and singing, it was through the art of drama that she first learned to access the deepest parts of herself. Over time, she began channeling those emotional depths into music, shaping a genre-defying sound that flows between dream pop, alt-rock, and moody ballads with a silver screen glow.
Ana Luna continues to craft songs that feel both personal and expansive. Each track is an invitation to feel, reflect, and connect—reminding listeners of the complexity of their own inner worlds and the power of vulnerability.

Travis Howard
I started my career writing a bunch of country hits with Miranda Lambert and ended up working with Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Waylon Payne, Ashley Ray, Brooks & Dunn and Reba.
I’ve had an outsized amount of songs in film and TV. I was music producer for the FOX show Filthy Rich. I also co-produced (with Danny Myrick) Company’s Comin’ by comic actor and pandemic sanity-savior Leslie Jordan, featuring Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Eddie Vedder, Dolly Parton, TJ Osborne. There’s a new EP out everywhere called Western Magnolia, a good way to get to know me.
Lately I’m spending time scoring films and documentaries. I’ve got one called Due West coming later this year.

​“One of America’s most talented, gifted, and affecting artists.” — American Songwriter

Chris Pierce is a singular American voice—an artist whose songs carry equal parts soul, truth, and grace. Rooted in folk, blues, and Americana, his music speaks plainly and powerfully to the human condition, earning him a reputation as one of the most moving performers of his generation.
Pierce recently gained global attention when he was handpicked by Neil Young to be the special guest opener on Young’s Coastal Tour. His song “We Can Always Come Back to This”—which he co-wrote—was featured in three episodes of NBC’s This Is Us, later reaching #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and introducing his songwriting to millions worldwide.
​
Over the course of decades, Pierce has toured extensively as both a headliner and sought-after support act, sharing stages with Neil Young, B.B. King, Al Green, Steve Earle, Seal, Aaron Neville, Jill Scott, Allison Russell, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and many others. His live performances—often just voice, guitar, and an unmistakable presence—are known for their emotional depth and rare intimacy.
Recent highlights include Pierce’s contribution of “Southern Man” to Heart of Gold, a Neil Young tribute album also featuring Eddie Vedder, Brandi Carlile, Fiona Apple, and Steve Earle; several Playing for Change duets with Sara Bareilles, Keb’ Mo’, Sunny War, Daniel Lanois; and a sold-out concert alongside Allison Russell. He has appeared in performance and interview on NPR’s World Café, Mountain Stage, American Folk Show, and more, and has delivered acclaimed sets at Newport Folk Festival, AmericanaFest, Folk Alliance, MerleFest, BottleRock, BeachLife Festival, Calgary Folk Festival,Vancouver Folk Festival, and beyond.
​
Pierce’s albums American Silence and Let All Who Will received widespread critical praise from NPR, Rolling Stone, Forbes, American Songwriter, No Depression, SiriusXM, The Bluegrass Situation, Americana UK, and others. American Silence was named #1 Best Folk Album of 2021 by PopMatters, while “Residential School” was recognized by Folk Alley as one of the 100 Essential Folk Songs.
Chris Pierce is currently completing work on a highly anticipated new full-length album, slated for release in 2026—a project that continues his lifelong commitment to honest songs, fearless storytelling, and music that meets the moment.

Max Gomez and Man Boy Brown
2026-04-09 21:00 - 23:30 | Hotel Cafe, 1623 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, 90028, United States
Max Gomez was born and raised in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country and blues singer-songwriters at an early age. After becoming a fixture in the New Mexico music scene, Gomez left home to pursue a broader horizon. His debut album, Rule the World (New West Records), earned critical acclaim and launched a touring career that has taken him coast to coast across the U.S., into Canada, and throughout Western Europe.
In August of last year, Gomez released Memory Mountain, produced by Mark Howard. The album debuted at #1 on the Alt-Country Radio Chart, further solidifying his reputation for timeless, resonant songwriting. His interim EP, Me and Joe, featuring the now-beloved track “Make It Me,” has surpassed five million streams on Spotify alone. Praised by Rolling Stone and No Depression as an emerging voice in Americana, Memory Mountain affirms that distinction with depth and charm.
Over the years, Gomez has shared the stage with artists across genres, including James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Tommy James & The Shondells, Jeff Beck, and Johnny Depp. Judging by the company he keeps—and the work he continues to create—Max Gomez remains one of Americana’s most compelling and authentic voices.

Man Boy Brown is the alter ego of Raul Pacheco, vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and co-founding member of three-time Grammy-winning Los Angeles band Ozomatli. His first solo endeavor reflects the eternal adolescence he’s embraced since forming the groundbreaking multicultural group three decades ago, blending romantic Latin ballads, Mexican corridos, and spacious arrangements that allow melody and emotion to breathe. The project captures a seasoned artist looking both backward and forward, grounded in tradition while carving out a distinct creative identity.
Led by the singles “Moving On” and “Dulce Canción,” Man Boy Brown marks a declaration of independence and renewed purpose, balancing reflection with momentum and themes of connection, growth, and love. Collaborating with an international cast of musicians, Pacheco explores intimacy, nostalgia, and self-discovery through songs that range from old-school bolero and disco-tinged grooves to confessional, singer-songwriter moments. Dividing his time between New Mexico and his hometown of Boyle Heights, Pacheco embraces this next chapter with clarity and confidence—moving on without ever leaving home.
