Hello loyal TMT readership. Thanks for clicking through! Here’s the latest exciting entertainment industry news flash, delivered with the same kind of wit, style, grace, and aplomb that you’ve come to expect from our online music magazine: Lauryn Hill — whom Wikipedia tells me is "an American singer-songwriter, rapper, producer, and actress [...] best known for being a member of the Fugees and for her solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” has just announced something called “Small Axe: Acoustic Performance Series,” which is just like what it says it is; six intimate shows around Washington, DC and New York next month. Interested? Then follow your instincts and read on.
According to her press release, the rooms to which Hill will be singing span from 250-500 in their capacities (which is a small capacity when you’re Lauryn Hill; whom, again, Wikipedia defines as an American singer-songwriter, rapper, producer, and actress […] best known for being a member of the Fugees and for her solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill) and are “mostly seated to created [sic] a uniquely intimate experience with the 8 time Grammy Award winner.” Classy, right? But wait. There’s more.
And here it is in this new paragraph: fans of Ms. Lauryn Hill who act fast can also “upgrade their experience to “a VIP Meet & Greet that includes a limited edition 24” x 36” art poster designed by Ms. Hill, souvenir tour laminate and an individual meet and greet (includes photo and autograph) after the show.” For tickets and more info on VIP upgrades go to Hill’s unofficial website. Oops. I mean, Hill’s real unofficial website.
