W Hotels has recently announced the launch of its W Tour Life series, an album release tour that will travel exclusively to four west coast W Hotels, including W Scottsdale. The series will run from September 21 to October 5 and will be headlined by LJ Laboratory in support of their upcoming debut album Analogue Interference.
The tour will also feature a different inspirational WHAT SHE SAID speaker panel at each location that will bring together four to five women consisting of LJ Laboratory members alongside other powerful, progressive women who are influencing today’s music industry. The panel will be moderated by Lauren A. Spalding, the manager of LJ Laboratory and will be made up of four powerful jazz musicians using narrative, artistry, innovate designs and analog synthesizers to transport their audiences into a sci-fi journey reminiscent of Kraftwerk. Their A-list, multi-GRAMMY-winning production team has worked with Prince, Daft Punk and Kanye West. Following the panel, LJ Laboratory will take the stage for a live performance at all properties and a DJ set at W Scottsdale.
The tour will stop at W Scottsdale on Wednesday, October 4 from 7 to 10 p.m. and will feature Jamie LeVine, chief communications officer of Steve LeVine Entertainment (SLE). LeVine directs the agency’s communications business which specializes in event planning, coordination and production, talent booking and management, marketing and promotions, new media and design. She is an expert on leveraging national and local media partnerships that have translated to business growth at SLE.
The first-ever W Tour Life series will aim to align music with a message, tapping emerging artists to inspire the next generation of bold thinkers seeking a foothold in the industry. All events are free and open to both guests and locals alike.
