LoveJonesNYC is a true celebration of the arts which showcases a live fusion of music, poetry, dance, fashion, and live art. Since its inception a year ago, the show, produced by Maschil Entertainment, Inc., has consistently sold out. It has been presented Uptown at Sylvia’s Restaurant and GU Live, and Downtown at the Tribeca hot spot, Duane Park Restaurant and Lounge. In March, LoveJonesNYC celebrated its One Year Anniversary at Soho’s newest hot spot, GreenhouseNY, and it continues to feature its monthly showcases there. The next show is June 9, 2010 Featuring TONEX, Teron Beal, J-Harris and the LoveJonesNYC stars! LoveJonesNYC is the brainchild of Maschil Entertainment President Joey H. Fleming aka J-Harris.

“I wanted to create something different, something uplifting and powerful…an event that truly celebrated the arts, as I presented the best in live music, spoken word, dance, fashion and live art,” Fleming explained. “We are very excited that we have had sold out nights since our first show.”

While the LoveJonesNYC Showgirls, the LoveJonesNYC Live Band, and the LoveJonesNYC Background Singers, set the mood for the evening, a featured international painter paints a live portrait and puts to canvas the expressions of the featured artists. By the end of each show, the painter has created a masterpiece original painting, which the audience has an opportunity to bid on during a live auction.

Lovers of music, spoken word, art, fashion and dance are treated to an evening of artistic expressions where J-Harris hosts and also performs.

One of the great things about LoveJonesNYC, is that world renowned artists who come to enjoy the show and be a part of the audience, end up treating the crowd to impromptu performances. Dr. Ben Chavis, The world Famous Doug E. Fresh, Mariah Carey’s Trey Lorenz, Grammy winner Gordon Chambers, American Idol finalist Anwar Robinson, and Tyler Perry’s Terrell Carter, have all gotten on stage and wowed the audiences with their phenomenal sounds.
