Metro, KCRW to present 2 summer nights of music at Union Station

KCRW and Metro Art will team up July 20 and 27 for two nights of music from 6 to 10 p.m. in downtown Los Angeles, Union Station officials announced Tuesday.

KCRW DJs Jeremy Sole and Chris Douridas will perform sets for the first event on July 20, while the following Saturday features a performance by sibling-led LA-based jazz-folk band The South Hill Experiment “amplified by KCRW DJs Raul Campos and SiLVA,” according to event organizers. The music events will have pop-up bars serving light refreshments and alcohol and areas for dancing.

“We couldn’t be more excited about partnering with Metro Art to throw an epic dance party in one of LA’s iconic locations, Union Station,” Nathalie Hill, the radio station’s chief audience officer and Summer Nights field guide ranger, said in a statement.

“And what’s almost as good as the cool music and vibes? The fact that it’s the easiest one to get to,” Hill said, advising prospective attendees to “just take Metro.”
