This past Friday, HDA Management, Kerosene Management, and Tallulah PR put together an incredible night of music at Baby’s All Right, one of Brooklyn’s most beloved venues. More than just a show, it was a night of coming together to support those affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. As someone from Pacific Palisades, I’ve seen firsthand the destruction wildfires can bring, and as a concert freak, I knew I had to be there.
The lineup was stacked with artists who each brought something special to the stage, proving just how powerful live music can be in moments like this.

Proceeds from the event contributed to relief efforts for displaced families and destroyed communities.
Slow Bird, a Brooklyn-based duo that originated in Seattle, WA, opened the night with a captivating set. With several national and West Coast tours under their belt, they set a warm yet dynamic tone for the evening. Their atmospheric soundscapes and emotive performance immediately drew the audience in, making for an engaging start to the benefit show. Hearing their music in a live setting, especially for such an important cause, made their set even more impactful.
Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and producer Miette Hope followed, taking the stage solo with her guitar. She shared some unreleased tracks, stripping everything down to just her voice and the guitar, which made for an intimate and reflective performance. While it wasn’t the most high-energy set of the night, her raw storytelling and vulnerability were undeniable, creating a quiet yet powerful moment.
Sabrina Song, a familiar presence on the Baby’s All Right stage, delivered an evocative performance that reaffirmed her talent as a songwriter and performer. She shared tracks from her 2024 album You Could Say In One Spot and I’d Love You the Same, including ‘Okay, Okay,’ ‘Busy Work,’ ‘Yellowstone,’ and ‘It Was Not a Beautiful Night.’ Having covered her in past articles, I was once again impressed by her ability to bring raw emotion and vulnerability to her music, making every lyric resonate deeply with the audience. I was happy to see that Sabrina still has that great banter that makes you feel so comfortable at one of her shows. My friends who came with me were so impressed by her performance that they sent me screenshots of them listening to her music in their Uber rides home.
B.Miles, also hailing from California, took the stage next with a mesmerizing set, her infectious vocal melodies filling the space with an emotional intensity that had the crowd hooked. There’s something special about the way she blends introspective lyrics with dynamic instrumentation, a balance that felt even more powerful in a live setting. Her ability to pull the audience into her world was undeniable. It’s also easy to see why Brenna Miles has been praised for her voice and artistry, as her vocals carried an emotional weight that resonated deeply with everyone in the room.
Loose Buttons closed out the night with an electrifying set, including a performance of their song ‘I Saw Jon Hamm At The Beach,’ which has been featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show when Jon Hamm was a guest. It was also fascinating to see Eric Nizgretsky, the band’s singer, switch from playing bass in B.Miles’ set to stepping into the frontman role with Loose Buttons. His energy transformed from that of a supporting player to a confident, energetic, and at times goofy frontman—exactly what a headlining set needs to end the night on a high note. The band’s chemistry was palpable, with Nizgretsky’s commanding vocals and the group’s tight instrumentation driving an unforgettable performance. The audience fed off their energy, making the end of the night feel more like a celebration of resilience than just another concert.
Beyond the music, the event had a personal touch, with both Brenna Miles and Sabrina Song sharing their connections to LA, making their performances even more heartfelt. The event was also a testament to the power of the arts in bringing people together for a cause. I also want to commend the teams for putting together such a dynamic and well-balanced lineup of amazing artists. Every performance felt purposeful, and the diversity in sound and style kept the night engaging from start to finish.
Attendees weren’t just there for the music; they were there to support a greater mission, showing solidarity with those affected by the wildfires. It was deeply moving to see a New York audience come together in support of a cause so close to my heart. From the performances to the palpable sense of community, the evening was a powerful reminder of how music can inspire, heal, and mobilize action.
