Check out this weekend's edition of UPFRONT Inside Atlanta's Entertainment Industry. It features The Lovebirds star Issa Rae, singing sisters Arin and Alexis Jones from MAGIC JONES and Broadway stars Saycon Sengbloh, Quentin Earl Darrington and LaMar Baylor.
Youtube sensation and Insecure star Issa Rae is here to chat about her new Netflix romantic comedy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzPq8uVgLe8">The Lovebirds. It features her alongside comedic actor Kumail Nanjiani as a New Orleans couple on the verge of breaking up who somehow find themselves at the center of a scandalous murder mystery. The interview was part of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQwjX1nlg9M">AAFCA's Virtual Roundtable Series.
#NOLA sisters Arin and Alexis Jones have teamed up for a new children's project titled THE MAGIC JONES. It features diverse children's nursery rhymes and cartoon characters to help parents homeschooling their elementary school children during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Their rendition of "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1_RDbhslWo">Twinkle Twinkle" is climbing the charts and is a favorite amongst adults. Alexis sings with the Kanye West Sunday Service and Arin is 1/3 of the R&B group Brownstone.
Closing out the show is my special segment The Show Must Go On: Entertainment and COVID-19. This week features Broadway stars Saycon Sengbloh, LaMar Baylor and Quentin Earl Darrington. All three of them share their experiences during the #CoronaStorm and how it is re-shaping the Great White Way.
