SUMMARY:The Hobnob: A Conversational Mixer for the Rest of Us (April 30)
DESCRIPTION:hob·nob\n\n/ˈhäbˌnäb/\nIn a time where networking often feels rushed\, transactional\, and surface-level\, a new event in Birmingham is taking a different approach—one rooted in real conversation\, real connection\, and real opportunity. \nHobnob: A Conversational Mixer for the Rest of Us isn’t designed for industry experts\, influencers\, or those who already “have it all figured out.” Instead\, it’s built for the everyday business owner\, creator\, and professional who simply wants to learn\, grow\, and connect with others navigating the same journey. \nSet for Thursday\, April 30 from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM at Bar Sebastian Rooftop\, Hobnnob creates a space where conversations are intentional and focused on topics that matter in today’s business landscape. \n \nNetworking with Purpose \nHobnob isn’t your typical “walk around and exchange business cards” event. \nThis is a conversational mixer—where attendees are encouraged to engage in meaningful discussions centered around four key areas shaping modern business: \n\nArtificial Intelligence – Understanding how AI tools can support marketing\, content creation\, and day-to-day operations\nPodcasting – Using voice and storytelling to build brand presence and audience engagement\nSocial Media – Learning how to better understand and leverage your platform for growth\nCollaboration – Building partnerships through events\, sponsorships\, and shared opportunities\n\nThe goal is simple: \n\nHelp people move from confusion to clarity\nTurn conversations into collaborations\nAnd create real opportunities for growth\n\nFor the People Who Are Still Figuring It Out \nWhat makes Hobnob different is who it’s for. \nThis event is designed for people who: \n\nWant to better understand AI\, social media\, and content creation\nAre looking for ways to market and grow their business more effectively\nValue learning through conversation\, not just presentations\nWant to meet people they can actually build with\n\nThere’s no pressure to be an expert—just a willingness to show up\, ask questions\, share and engage. \nBecause sometimes the most valuable insight doesn’t come from a keynote—it comes from the person standing next to you. \nAll In A Conversation \nThe idea for Hobnob came together organically through a conversation between Urbanham.com founder Russ McClinton and Bar Sebastian manager Will Harvill\, centered on rethinking what networking could look like. Instead of the traditional one-to-many or panel-style format\, the vision was to create a many-to-many experience—where everyone in the room has a voice. “We want people to come out\, network\, and actually talk about their challenges and what they need. These are intentional conversations\,” said McClinton. Harvill agreed\, sharing his interest in revisiting a similar concept he once explored called Hobnob during his time as owner of the popular Bizarre The Coffee Bar in downtown Birmingham. The ideas were ultimately combined under the name Hobnob—a traditional term rooted in conversation among like-minded individuals —reimagined to reflect the modern challenges of today’s small business owners and creatives\, particularly as they look to integrate new technology into their everyday workflows. \nAdding a real-world element to the conversation\, attendees will also be introduced to practical examples of how AI tools are being used in everyday business operations. Platforms like Tool Genie represent just one of many emerging options designed to support content creation\, marketing\, and workflow efficiency—particularly for creators and small business owners exploring tools like YouTube and digital media. Mr. Jarrod Sims of Syms Contractors will be on site to share how he incorporates AI into his construction business\, as well as through his work with the Black Contractors Association – Alabama Chapter\, offering insight into how these tools like Tool Genie can be applied across industries in a practical\, results-driven way. \nRooftop Views\, Cocktails\, and Conversations \nThe experience takes place at Bar Sebastian Rooftop\, one of Birmingham’s standout elevated venues\, offering a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere perfect for connection. \nGuests can enjoy:\n🍸 Signature cocktails and food available at the bar\n🌆 Rooftop views of the city \nThe setting adds to the overall vibe—making it easy to unwind\, have authentic conversations\, and build relationships in a space that feels both professional and social. \nTo join us RSVP online at https://hobnob430.eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:💗 Pink Skies Set to Take Over Birmingham Rooftop as the AKA South Eastern Regional Conference Winds Down (May 2)
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of women from Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Inc. will gather in Birmingham for the 94th South Eastern Regional Conference\, scheduled for April 29 through May 2\, 2026. The conference will welcome members from across AKA’s South Eastern Region—Alabama\, Mississippi\, and Tennessee—with attendance expected to reach into the thousands as sorority sisters from across the three-state region arrive in the Magic City for several days of sisterhood\, service\, and celebration. \nAs conferences like this one visit the area attendees are often looking for ways to unwind after full days of programming. Pink Skies\, hosted by Phaith “DJ Chocolate” Frazier\, is one of those experiences. \nPositioned as an unofficial nightcap for conference attendees\, Pink Skies is open not only to sorority members but to anyone seeking a night filled with good music and elevated energy at one of the city’s signature rooftop atmospheres. DJ Chocolate\, a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Inc.\, will also be in the mix throughout the weekend\, performing at several official regional conference events. \n \nA Soundtrack for the Moment \nAt the heart of the night is Nadia Tellis\, a talented vocalist known for her soulful sound and dynamic live performances across Alabama. Her ability to blend R&B\, soul\, and contemporary hits makes her the perfect complement to the evening’s aesthetic. \nWhile Nadia delivers the live entertainment\, DJ Chocolate will do what she does best—set the tone.

It’s a cross-organizational celebration—one rooted in connection\, culture\, and community. \nAdding to the night’s energy\, B’Ham Men’s Fashion Week visionary Mr. Perry Varner is also expected to be in attendance\, along with models\, patrons\, and special invited guests\, following his Saturday night fashion event at WorkPlay.

The specialty cocktails will feature Corazón Tequila with creations like the Pink Skies Paloma\, Velvet Sky Margarita\, and Runway Rosé Spritz. The cocktail lineup not only complements the rooftop aesthetic but also adds a refined\, celebratory touch to the evening’s overall vibe. \nPrelude to Vegas \nPink Skies also carries a bigger energy. \nThe event is being billed as a “Prelude to Vegas\,” as many regional attendees prepare to travel to Las Vegas later this summer for the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Inc. Boule—the organization’s international conference. That forward-looking energy adds another layer to the night. \n“This isn’t just the end of a weekend—it’s the beginning of what’s next\,” says DJ Chocolate. “As we look ahead to Las Vegas\, I wanted to create something here that not only caters to my sorority sisters but also embraces the community at large. I believe Pink Skies will be the perfect send-off as we prepare for Boule later this summer.” \nDJ Chocolate will carry that same energy west\, performing in Las Vegas as she teams up with sorority members from Houston and Las Vegas for another signature event. \nThe Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Day Party is set for Sunday\, July 19\, 2026\, from 4 PM to 10 PM at Medusa Nightclub\, located at 3355 S.

SUMMARY:Love\, Laughter & Legacy: Alvin Garrett Brings a Soulful Mother’s Day Experience to Birmingham (May 10)
DESCRIPTION:BIRMINGHAM\, AL — If you’re looking for the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day this year\, Alvin Garrett is bringing something special to the Magic City. \nOn Sunday\, May 10\, the historic Carver Theatre will set the stage for “Laughter\, Love & Legacy: A Mother’s Day Celebration”—a one-of-a-kind experience blending live music\, comedy\, and heartfelt moments designed to honor the women who raised us. \nFor Garrett\, this isn’t just another show—it’s personal. \nA Homecoming with Purpose \n“I’m currently promoting a new album entitled Talk To Her Like This\, and this event is the perfect homecoming for my promotional tour\,” Garrett shared. \nThe project centers around love and uplifting women\, making Mother’s Day the ideal backdrop. \n“Why not bring it home on the holiday that we celebrate our mothers and talk to ‘them’ like this…or shall I say sing to them.” \n \nMore Than a Concert — It’s an Experience \nGarrett is intentional about the energy he brings to the stage\, and this show will be no different. \n“When I perform\, I always infuse love and laughter into my shows\,” he said. \nThat balance is key—especially on a day that can carry a range of emotions. \n“Mother’s Day may be a heavy emotional day for some; and I want this experience to be one that puts a smile on everyone’s face as we give flowers to the mothers that are with us and to those that are watching over us.” \n The Carver Theatre Connection \nReturning to the Carver Theatre adds another layer of meaning. \n“About 10 years ago\, I promoted ‘Christmas with The Cats’ at The Carver and it was one of my favorite venues\,” Garrett reflected. \nHe describes the venue as the perfect mix of intimacy and production value—ideal for the type of connection he wants with the audience. \n“I’m hoping this can be the start of a new tradition in Birmingham.” \nBeyond the nostalgia\, the Carver Theatre is experiencing a fresh wave of energy thanks to its recent renovations—earning praise from patrons\, promoters\, and even national touring artists. The upgraded auditorium now features a state-of-the-art audio/visual system\, delivering an immersive experience through enhanced sound\, projection\, and media control capabilities. The redesigned foyer offers a welcoming reception and bar area perfect for pre-show vibes and post-show conversations. Add in the jazz museum on the second floor\, and the Carver has reestablished itself as more than just a historic landmark—it’s a modern\, multi-experience venue built for everything from intimate concerts to full-scale productions. \nA Curated Lineup with Rising Talent \nJoining Garrett on stage are Yoshihanaa and DJ Wright\, both artists he’s actively working with behind the scenes. \n“I wanted to present artists that I am currently producing original music with as well\,” he said. \nFans can even expect to hear brand-new music\, including “Fall In Love Again\,” a record Garrett co-wrote and produced. \n \nHonoring Legacy Through Music \nThe heart of the show is right there in the title—Legacy. \n“Legacy has a soundtrack\,” Garrett explained\, pointing to the timeless influence of artists like Al Green. \nHe’s also planning a special tribute during the show\, including a performance of his song “Flowers\,” designed to honor both present and past mothers. \n“Love and laughter is the key to gracefully embracing the legacy of our mothers.” \nA Message Rooted in Joy \nGarrett credits much of his outlook—and his music—to his own mother. \n“She always taught me to approach life with joy and laughter\,” he said. \nThat message is something he carries into every performance. \n“I try to spread joy and inspiration with my music and my life…even during difficult times.” \n \nWhy You Don’t Want to Miss This \nIf you’ve never experienced Alvin Garrett live\, this is the show to start with. \n“I’ve built a legacy in Birmingham of presenting shows with a high level of professionalism and production quality\,” he said. \nBut this one hits different. \n“I just want to show my gratitude with a performance that everyone can be proud of…especially our mothers.” \nWhat’s Next \nThis Mother’s Day concert is just the beginning. \n“This will be the kickoff show for my ‘Talk To Her Like This’ tour\,” Garrett revealed. \nThe tour will include full-band performances\, media appearances\, and stops across multiple cities as he continues to push his latest album. \n Event Details \nLaughter\, Love & Legacy: A Mother’s Day Celebration\n📅 Sunday\, May 10\n🕔 Doors: 5PM | Show: 6PM\n📍 Carver Theatre – Birmingham\, AL\n🎟️ Tickets: JazzHall.com \n \nStay Connected \nFollow Alvin Garrett for updates: \n\nInstagram / Facebook / TikTok: @thealvingarrett\nWebsite: AlvinGarrett.com

SUMMARY:Birmingham Gets Its Wish: Raymond & Brown Bring The R&B Tour to Protective Stadium (July 28)
DESCRIPTION:With decades of chart-topping hits\, cultural influence\, and undeniable stage presence between them\, both Chris Brown and Usher have helped define and evolve modern R&B. From Usher’s era-defining classics like Confessions and must see Vegas residency to Chris Brown’s ability to consistently reinvent the sound and energy of the genre\, each has built a legacy that spans generations of fans. Now\, the name of the tour itself—R&B (Raymond & Brown)—feels like a full-circle moment\, paying homage not only to their last names\, but to the very genre they’ve helped shape\, elevate\, and keep at the forefront of music culture. \nAs soon as the tour was announced\, social media lit up with fans across the city asking the same question—“Is Birmingham getting a date?” The chatter quickly turned into anticipation as locals hoped the Magic City would land on the tour schedule. That excitement was confirmed on Tuesday\, April 14\, when the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (home of Protective Stadium) officially announced that the Raymond & Brown tour would indeed make a stop in Birmingham. Even Mayor Randall Woodfin joined the conversation with a social media post\, making sure the city—and the internet—knew Birmingham secured its spot on one of the biggest R&B tours of the year. \n \nThe newly announced “R&B Tour” is a co-headlining stadium experience bringing together Chris Brown and Usher—marking a major moment in R&B and a reunion fans didn’t see coming. \n👉 Full tour dates are still being released\, so if Birmingham doesn’t work for you\, don’t stress—this tour is expected to hit major cities across the country with many already being announced. \nSign up now for the artist presale at RAYMONDANDBROWNTOUR.COM

SUMMARY:Port City Classic Weekend in Mobile Expands with Star-Studded Tailgate Concert (September 4)
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain energy that comes with HBCU football weekends — the bands\, the tailgates\, the culture. But in Mobile\, the Port City Classic is quickly becoming something bigger than just a game. \n\n\n\nThis year’s lineup makes that clear. \n\n\n\nSet against the backdrop of Labor Day weekend\, the Port City Classic is building into a full experience\, anchored not only by football but by a growing slate of entertainment\, including a major \nTailgate Concert presented by American Entertainment Group (AEG).  \n \n\n\n\nA Concert That Feels Like Its Own Headliner Event \n\n\n\nTaking place Friday\, September 4th at Ladd-Peebles Stadium\, the Tailgate Concert is shaping up to be one of the weekend’s biggest draws. \n\n\n\nThe lineup leans heavily into Southern soul and crowd favorites\, featuring: \n\n\n\n\nBig Pokey\n\n\n\nCupid\n\n\n\n69 Boyz\n\n\n\nUrban Mystic\n\n\n\nNathaniel Kimble\n\n\n\nFat Daddy\n\n\n\nKai\n\n\n\nIda Lee\n\n\n\nDavid J\n\n\n\n\n…and more acts still to be announced. \n\n\n\nWith gates opening at 5:00 PM and showtime set for 7:30 PM\, the concert sets the tone for the entire weekend — blending nostalgia\, live performance energy\, and the kind of crowd engagement that keeps people coming back year after year. \n\n\n\nFor many\, this won’t just be a pre-game event. It’ll be a destination all on its own. \n\n\n\nMore Than Football — A Full Weekend Experience \n\n\n\nWhile the concert adds major star power\, the Port City Classic continues to build its identity around a full lineup of events that extend beyond the stadium. \n\n\n\nThroughout the weekend\, Mobile becomes a hub for activity\, including: \n\n\n\n\nCommunity events and networking opportunities\n\n\n\nTailgates and fan experiences\n\n\n\nEducational programming like the HBCU Summit\n\n\n\nLive music and cultural activations across the city\n\n\n\n\nIt’s the kind of setup that turns a single game into a weekend people plan trips around. \n\n\n\nWhy It’s Growing \n\n\n\nWhat’s happening with the Port City Classic isn’t by accident. It reflects a larger shift in how events are being built — especially in the South. \n\n\n\nPeople aren’t just looking for a game anymore. They’re looking for an experience. \n\n\n\nAnd Mobile is leaning into that. \n\n\n\nBy combining football\, live entertainment\, and community-driven programming\, the Port City Classic is creating something that: \n\n\n\n\nAttracts visitors from across the region\n\n\n\nDrives hotel stays and local business traffic\n\n\n\nShowcases the cultural impact of HBCUs\n\n\n\nPositions Mobile as a destination city for major events\n\n\n\n\nThe Bigger Picture \n\n\n\nFrom the outside looking in\, this is what successful regional events are starting to look like — layered\, intentional\, and built to serve multiple audiences at once. \n\n\n\nYou’ve got: \n\n\n\n\nFootball fans\n\n\n\nMusic lovers\n\n\n\nAlumni and organizations\n\n\n\nYoung professionals and creatives\n\n\n\n\nAll finding a reason to show up. \n\n\n\nAnd when that happens\, the impact goes beyond entertainment. It becomes economic. \n\n\n\nFinal Thought \n\n\n\nThe Port City Classic is still growing\, but weekends like this show exactly where it’s headed. \n\n\n\nIt’s not just about who’s playing on the field. It’s about what’s happening around it. \n\n\n\nAnd with additions like the AEG Tailgate Concert\, Mobile is making it clear — this isn’t just a game anymore. \n\n\n\nIt’s a full weekend experience. \n\n\n\nTo find out more visit https://www.mobileportcityclassic.com or visit https://www.americanentgroup.com
