For all my friends in Southern California, another cool event for a summer night. Kollaboration is back with a little something different: Kollaboration Acoustic 2, a toned-down, chilled-out, unplugged version of the world-famous talent show, with "a focus on musical pieces that incorporate vocals, acoustic, guitar, and other non-electrical instruments." Saturday, August 2 at the Ford Amphitheatre in Hollywood. Mark your calendars, because it's going to be a good time.
Twelve talented, up-and-coming Asian American acts will be performing and competing for a cash prize: The Ken Oak Band, Jane Lui, Lady Danville, Richey Lam, Jennifer Chung, The Shinobies, Sam "Geunjin" Kang, Million Dollar Babies, Benny Mao, Tier2, Jaewon Choe and Jason Armoto. With guest performers Paul Dateh and Ken Belcher, and guest comedians Edwin San Juan and Ali Wong. Come on out for an evening of music under the stars.
