For Immediate Release:

An Evening With: Kamala D. Harris, Lisa Ling, and Kollaboration Acoustic 3 Performers at Wokcano, Santa Monica on Wednesday, August 19, 2009.

SANTA MONICA, CA— The current District Attorney of San Francisco Kamala D. Harris, award-winning correspondent and television host Lisa Ling and Kollaboration’s Acoustic 3 performers will be presenting “An Evening With: Kamala D. Harris, Lisa Ling, and Kollaboration Acoustic 3 Performers” (An Evening With, hereon after) at the festively lit Wokcano restaurant in Santa Monica on Wednesday, August 19, 2009. An Evening With will be a mixer featuring guest speakers Kamala D. Harris, Lisa Ling with live performances from Kollaboration Acoustic 3 performers A.J Rafael, Mike Isberto, Megan Lee, “Afraid of Everest” Gerald Ko, and Jinah Kim to address key issues regarding the Asian Pacific Islander community.

An Evening With will be moderated by Roy Choi, the executive producer of Kollaboration, the largest grass-roots organization to promote API artists that brings more awareness and presence back into the community and will feature live acoustic performances throughout the event.

Kamala D. Harris will also be speaking to reach out to the API community about her commitment to justice and her campaign to become the next California Attorney General. San Francisco District Attorney Kamala D. Harris is currently the front-runner for the California Attorney General seat in the June 2010 primary election. Having raised $1.3 million dollars and counting from thousands of donors across the state, Harris is being hailed as the “female Barack Obama” by journalist Gwen Ifill on The Late Show with David Letterman, while being featured on Oprah as one of “America's Most Powerful Women" and recently named one of The New York Times “17 Women Most Likely to Become the First Female President of the United States.” A half-black and half-Asian Indian Californian, Harris attended Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. With over 20 years of prosecutorial experience, she has been a tough prosecutor on fighting violent crime in San Francisco since her inception in 2003 as the first female to win the District Attorney seat in San Francisco.
An Evening With will take place from 7pm to 12midnight, located at Wokcano restaurant on 1413 5th Street, Santa Monica.

Kollaboration launches their 3rd annual acoustic talent event, scheduled for Saturday, August 22, 2009 at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Hollywood, CA.

Kollaboration Acoustic 3 will take place on Saturday, August 22nd 2009, 7:30pm at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Hollywood as the third and final Kollaboration show to take place in Southern California this year. Following the main Kollaboration 9 show which boasts 6,000 sold-out seats at the Shrine Auditorium this past February and the recent success of Kollaboration Hip Hop and Laugh-Off at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre, Kollaboration is bringing its Acoustic 3 show back to the same location for another unique evening for music and inspiring new talents.

Acoustic 3 will bring to the arena musicians that perform their vocals with various non-electrical instruments such as percussions, string and woodwind instruments. As an annual talent competition, 10 musical acts were selected after a competitive round of auditions in front of Kollaboration judges. Similar to our past performers, many of this year’s performers have already garnered well established internet followings, while others are looking to Acoustic 3 to introduce their talents to a new fan base.

This year’s performers to compete for First Place and $1,000 include: Gabe Bondoc, Mike Isberto, AJ Rafael Band, Susanna Yoon, Afraid of Everest, Jinah Kim, Megan Lee, David Tran aka Applesauce, Yoori Park and Alfa Garcia. Thanks to Verizon Wireless, a live Verizon Wireless Audience Choice Award Winner will also receive $1,000 via text message voting from the audience in attendance that evening. In addition to the musical raw talent, Acoustic 3 will also present comedienne Monrok, a regular with a very loyal following at The Comedy Store, The Hollywood Improv and the Ice House in Pasadena and comedian Jimmy Brogan, guest star of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with David Letterman and The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Additional guest performers and guest judges will also be present.
Kollaboration Acoustic 3 will be another platform for the growing number of API (Asian Pacific Islander) artists and the greater API community to come together to celebrate under the summer stars in an intimate and friendly environment. Ford Amphitheatre, will seat 1,200 and is located at 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. East, Hollywood, CA 90068 off the 101 Hollywood Freeway across from the Hollywood Bowl and south of Universal Studios. The grounds open two hours before show time for picnicking.

When Kollaboration first started in 2000, some people said it was just a little show that would never last. Fast Fwd: 9 years later... 5 cities, 24 shows, Tens of thousands of attendees, and MILLIONS of online viewers later... Kollaboration 9 has ARRIVED! Join us Saturday, Feb. 21, 2009 @ the SHRINE Auditorium as Kollaboration Los Angeles presents the BIGGEST Asian talent show in American history to date!

NOTE:
"One of the biggest knocks on Asian Americans is that we don’t support each other in the entertainment industry. We harshly judge our own entertainers for either being too white, too black, and if you can believe it, too Asian. Kollaboration is a platform where young Asian Americans can perform in front of a live crowd. This show will open the minds of those who don’t give Asian Americans a chance when it comes to expressing themselves creatively. And hopefully, through it, we can witness a new type of Asian American artform we can claim as our own."
