Second Saturdays at Jones Coffee
2013 - 2014 | Music Manager
In 2012, I started putting together a day-time music program for Jones Coffee Roasters, Pasadena’s most prolific coffee shop. Situated in the same large warehouse space as the coffee roasting and distribution arm, the shop hosted live music performances up to 5 days a week.
For the following two years, I also produced a summer music series called Second Saturdays. Every second Saturday of the month, Jones became home to the community’s favorite local musicians, artists, and food vendors. During those two years we hosted an amazing roster of talent including Doja Cat, Moses Sumney, The 88, and many more.

For many years, I worked in partnership with Adroit Sound and Entertainment, an LA based A/V company. Together we offered live entertainment booking services to clients ranging from private individuals to corporations in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area.
