Quarter Sessions: Bilal
In celebration of The Laundromat Project’s 20th Anniversary!
Join us on July 18 at 1:00 pm via livestream for our first Quarter Session, featuring Bilal!
Quarter Sessions is a vibrant music series that brings together live performances from emerging and established artists in an intimate, one-of-a-kind setting, transforming the walls of The LP Storefront into a space of creativity, connection, and cultural power. Inspired by the raw authenticity of Tiny Desk, Quarter Sessions honors the heartbeat of our community and the places where we fellowship and gather. Here, performance becomes a site of reclamation and soulful joy.
For our first Quarter Session, coinciding with our 20th anniversary celebration, we are pleased to welcome Bilal, whose music encompasses hip-hop, jazz, and soul. Bilal’s rich voice and genre-bending inspires us for its cultural relevance and spiritual depth. Through emotional resonance and his one-of-a-kind sound, Bilal aligns perfectly with The LP’s mission of honoring authenticity and connections with the places and spaces where extraordinary things can happen in everyday places.
Free food and refreshments will be provided!
Note: This event is livestream only.
