Ariel Beesley headlined a benefit show for her U Start Here nonprofit, which is an "organization geared towards healing survivors of sexual assault through community." The night was at Junior High in Glendale, which is also a non-profit entity.
Opening the night was Foxx Bodies. I previously caught this band in late 2019 at another non-profit location called Sunspace, which has now closed down due to the pandemic. The band sings the music with a beat poetry stance that has the backdrop of punk sounds.

Next up was Somme who I also last saw in 2019. Her music has a wonderful mix of pop rock sounds. The guitar playing definitely gives it a rock sound while those vocals have pop qualities. The vocals are especially musical, hooking you in from the start.

Ariel Beesley was amped that the benefit show had sold out and it showed in her set. She twirled, kicked and sprawled on the floor as she sang her way through her set list where every song is well written and has the perfectly catchy hook. There was one amusing moment where she forgot how to start out her song, "Palm Springs." Ha ha, she only released that song back in late 2019. Anyways, she asked her guitarist who wasn't sure and then the drummer whispered something into her ear. She amusing admitted to the audience what was going on. After her set ended a few minutes before the 10 p.m. curfew that is imposed on the venue, she asked everyone to have fun dancing until closing time.
