Greer's OC

The upstairs Shabeen Lounge at Mozambique offers the ocean breeze, dramatic sunsets of the Laguna coast, and the sensational sounds of
acoustic and reggae artists paired with savory cocktails and top rated dining. And a night to remember is happening Friday at Mozambique when Grammy-award winning Macy Gray returns with her band.

For just a $30 cover charge, you can see the hit R&B and soul singer songwriter best known for her international hit single “I Try”, from the multi-platinum debut album “On How Life Is.” Doors open at 7 p.m., show time is at 10:30 p.m.

Mozambique is at 1740 S. Pacific Coast Hwy. in Laguna Beach. For more information, call 949.715.7777, or visit http://www.mozambiqueoc.com

Kenya Help Education?

Photo Exhibit and Fundraiser featuring photos by Greer Wylder tonight from 6 to 9 p.m. at one of our favorite art galleries, The District Art Gallery in Tustin.

In 2010, I met Jack and Milly in a small village in Western Kenya and have, with the help of generous supporters, been able to enroll them in universities in Nairobi, Kenya. You can help change the lives of Jack and Milly by attending this art show featuring photographs that I took in Kenya. They’re about to enter their third year in college next month and need more monies to continue their education. Milly is earning a degree in marketing and would like to own her own business, and Jack is earning a degree in broadcast journalism.

Any proceeds from the sales of the photographs or donations will allow them and their families to escape a life of poverty as they currently live on less than a $1 a day in a small village without electricity or running water. Refreshments provided and live music by Matt Shockley.

The District Art Gallery is at 2477 Park Avenue in Tustin. 424.645.4161.
