Diverse Musical Talent Takes the Stage at BMI Acoustic Lounge

BMI L.A. presented four exceptional singer/songwriters at its latest installment of the Acoustic Lounge, featuring the diverse and unique talent of Gabriel Gonzales, Tasha Taylor, Jessica Callahan and Duane Neillson. Pop, Latin and r&b sounds all blended harmoniously during one night on one stage. The showcase, held at Genghis Cohen on the first Monday of each month, is free and open to the public.

The Acoustic Lounge is one of many opportunities BMI offers to artists to showcase their talent in front of their peers and a supportive audience. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun, offering a great opportunity to network with other aspiring and working singer/songwriters. For established writers, it provides a chance to monitor new musical trends and be involved in the grass-roots/DIY musical movement.
