LaRussell and Good Compenny Present: A Bay Area Music Showcase

KQED and artist collective Good Compenny come together in Vallejo for a night that’s more than a show — it’s a moment to showcase musical talent from the Bay Area. Five local artists will hit the stage for a live music showdown, judged by Vallejo star LaRussell and other local heavy-hitters, including artist manager Tietta, videographer Splash, violinist Michael Prince, pianist and producer Hokage Simon, and videographer and photographer BGIGGZ.

These six judges will be studying stage presence, skill, wow factors, versatility and how the performers engage with the audience.
Up-and-coming rappers and singers will bring their truth and talent to the mic. Expect real feedback, real recognition and one standout winner. Then, we close the night with a headlining set by LaRussell, whose music and message have inspired a movement far beyond the 707.

Didn’t make it to the top five? Don’t worry! Join us at the event and sign-up for our open mic on-site after the showcase for a chance to win a Good Compenny goodie bag and a feature in Gold Beams newsletter, a production company producing events made for Black creatives and community at large.
