JESSIE ALTMAN RECORD RELEASE SHOW & BENEFIT FOR VLA

Jessie Altman, hailed by SPIN as one of its “Top Emerging Artists” and boasting over a million streams, celebrates the lead-up to her second album with an intimate record release show at Songbyrd Music House. The evening doubles as a benefit for Volunteer Legal Advocates (VLA), an organization providing pro bono legal support for survivors of domestic abuse in Washington, D.C., and Montgomery County, Maryland. Altman performs with her full Los Angeles-based band, offering a set that mixes earlier favorites with new songs from the forthcoming album, including the single “Barcelona,” due June 5, 2026. Her cinematic, emotionally charged sound will fill the room, and all ticket sales are donated to VLA and matched by the event.
