Jason’s Lyric Live is a fiery, high stakes love story set in the heart of the Houston ghetto, where love and danger walk hand in hand. Jason (Allen Payne reprising his role), a man haunted by the ghosts of his violent past, meets serendipitously and falls deeply for Lyric (Eva Marcille), a guarded woman who’s built walls around her heart in order to survive the mean streets. Their passion becomes undeniable, but both are chained to scars they can’t escape.
Jason’s unwavering loyalty to his troubled brother, Josh (Tyrin Turner), recently released from prison and headed right back into the life of crime, stalls Jason’s promising future to escape the traps of poverty. But his spark for his bright future is ignited when he meets Lyric. But there’s just one problem. Lyric’s fear of her love being ripped away by the streets that are terrorized by her own brother, Alonzo (Treach reprising his role), makes her hesitant to trust love. Not being able to deny their feelings, their relationship is tested by family betrayal, dangerous choices, and life-threatening consequences. In a city where survival is uncertain, Jason and Lyric must decide if their love is strong enough to overcome the past—or if it’s doomed to fall apart.
Jason’s Lyric Live is a premiere play with music that tells the heart-pounding tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption that will leave audiences breathless, as two souls battle against the odds for a chance at real happiness.

Every once in a while, a group emerges with the flavor, focus, and fire to light up the entire game. That group is FLO. Formed in 2019, the BRIT Award-winning UK trio—Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer—flipped 21st century R&B on its head with a hip-hop attitude and global pop ambition. During 2022, the three-piece exploded on the world’s stage with their debut EP The Lead powered by the single “Cardboard Box.” Nearing half-a-billion streams, they’ve notably delivered showstopping performances on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Later…with Jools Holland, The Glamour Women Of The Year Awards, Soul Train Awards and the MOBOS. All of this momentum culminated with the group taking home the coveted “Rising Star” honor at the 2023 BRIT Awards in addition to earning BBC Sound Of 2023, while also receiving nominations at various 2023 awards shows including the BET Awards, MTV VMAs, MTV EMAs, Soul Train Awards, and the NAACP Image Awards. Meanwhile, they attracted the adoration of high-profile supporters, including Brandy, JoJo, SZA, Victoria Monét, Missy Elliott, Destiny’s Child’s Kelly Rowland, and Sugababes, to name a few. They’re the rare force who can comfortably shine on a collaboration with UK rap insurgent Stormzy or during a wide-ranging interview with Sir Elton John. With their first full-length on the way, they’re the R&B group for the future, starting labor.
Across his career, Shakey Graves — a.k.a. the performance moniker of Austin, Texas-born Alejandro Rose-Garcia — has intentionally created thrilling musical adventures tailored to each fan: burning CDs and putting them in personalized decorated bags; building intricate scavenger hunts that send fans in search of unique tapes; and Bandcamp-exclusive releases.
“The fans and musicians that really resonate with me — and the inexplicable ways that I find things that I like — are usually entirely through randomness and chaos and accident,” Rose-Garcia says. “I’ve always been on this quest to make people feel like my own music is a choose your own adventure.”
As Rose-Garcia releases his new Shakey Graves album Movie of the Week — a collection of songs whittled down from epic-length recording sessions — he has devised one of his most innovative musical adventures yet. “For the album release, I’m setting up a website,” he says. “On this website, there will be a way to shuffle a collection of alternate tracks and unique songs from the sessions in seemingly infinite combinations to create new albums.” Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, fans will be able to own this alternate version and do whatever they want with it — giving them control over the destiny of the music.
“Imagination really is the tool,” Rose-Garcia says. “The point is to make and create something yourself. Any way that I can allow people to apply their imagination over my music — and allow them to sculpt it using their own prompts — will let them create something new.”
