About This Event
We're thrilled to announce ECHO Sessions — a live music showcase and open mic competition celebrating emerging artists, brought to you by the Guitar Center Music Foundation and the Wherever You Go (WYG) Foundation. This is more than a concert — it's the first step in a two-event journey that culminates at ECHO Fest, the main festival.
Think: talent show meets live concert — an intimate, high-energy evening for music fans, artists, and industry creatives in the heart of Hollywood.
What to Expect
Watch hand-selected emerging artists battle it out in electrifying 20 minute live sets — each one giving everything they've got for their shot at the main stage.
4 Competing Bands:
We will also have a guest artist performance by Anthony Ortiz!
You Decide the Winner: Audience voting is part of the experience. Every ticket comes with a vote, and you can cast additional votes to back your favorite act. The crowd picks who advances to ECHO Fest.
An Intimate Historic Venue: Gold Diggers in Hollywood sets the perfect stage — a beloved, character-filled venue that puts you close to the music and the moment.
Networking: We want to create a curated group of artists and creatives. Directly mingle with the artists, producers, and industry professionals in attendance. We are partnering up with Fab Factory Studios and they will be sending some Talent Managers to check out our entertainers for the evening.
A Cause Worth Showing Up For: Ticket proceeds benefit our partnering charities. By attending, you're directly supporting music education, community programs, and the artists of tomorrow.
