About this Event

A Night to Connect Through Music
We see you. We hear you. We know the yearning for a place where your music can breathe freely, where your soul can connect with others who feel the rhythm just as deeply. That’s why we’re inviting you to Sound Circle: Dear Lauryn Hill, a premium live music event that bridges the gap between performance and participation. Rooted in the timeless grooves of funk, soul, R&B, and neo-soul, this is a concert, a communal experience where live instrumentation meets open jam sessions, fostering an atmosphere that’s intimate, soulful, and electric.
Celebrate Erykah Badu
Join us at The 27 Club for an evening of soulful celebration. Our house band, SoundProof—a three-piece ensemble—will dedicate the night to the iconic works of Lauryn Hill. This is intentional listening at its finest, a heartfelt letter of appreciation to the queen herself.
Open Jam: Vibe & Create
We’re opening up the floor with an open jam segment—a space where instrumentalists and vocalists can come together, vibe, and create. If you feel the call to contribute your sound, we’d love to hear from you. Just drop us an email at [email protected] with “open jam” in the subject line, and let’s make something magical happen.
