About this Event
EKENE & FRIENDS EXPERIENCE
An Intimate Evening of Original Music
One night. Four voices. Something rare.
The Ekene & Friends Experience is a curated live performance bringing together gifted original artists from the Monterey Peninsula and beyond — for one evening only, in a 100-seat room.
Headlined by Nigerian-born singer-songwriter Ekene, the night features:
• Nicola Reilly — violin
• Azi Fedoui — guitar & singer-songwriter
• Erin with an E — guitar & singer-songwriter
• And local artists joining throughout the evening
What to expect:
An intimate, listening-room experience — not background music. Original songs, live instruments, and the kind of musical conversation that only happens when artists who respect each other share a stage. Expect moments that move between languages and traditions: West African melody, classical strings, and California songwriting, woven together in real time.
The venue:
Monterey Museum of Art at La Mirada — a historic adobe estate set among gardens and galleries. A warm, acoustically intimate room where every seat is close to the music.
Doors: 5:00 PM · Music begins: 6:00 PM
Where: Monterey Museum of Art · La Mirada — 720 Via Mirada, Monterey, CA 93940
Seating: 100 curated guests only
This is Year One of the Ekene & Friends Experience — a new platform from 2 Lands LLC built to protect and accelerate original gifted artists. Your attendance helps make space for the work that matters.
