Mark Ballas (American singer-songwriter, actor, and professional dancer on the ABC's Dancing with the Stars), Haley Reinhart (former American Idol contestant), and Dylan Chambers (Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist) took the stage at the RedHour Live Music Series Wednesday night at famous hotspot Crustacean Beverly Hills.
To the performers' delight co-hosts from the previous series, Pia Toscano (Finalist of Season 10 of American Idol) and Jared Lee (Singer/Songwriter), came out to Crustacean to support the artists while sampling delectable items from the RedHour tapas menu by Master Chef Helene An and sipping on RedHour hand-crafted cocktails including Mrs. Red and Mr. Red.
Pia Toscano was looking gorgeous in Alice + Olivia pants, an American Apparel shirt, and Givenchy heels. Toscano was overheard talking about how much she wanted to join the singers on stage, but had to sit this evening out because the Jennifer Lopez tour has started to take a toll on her health and she had lost her voice recently.
Mark Ballas was dressed casual in a white tee, blue jeans and high top converse shoes. Ballas spent the night jumping on and off the stage singing with Hayley Reinhart and Dylan Chambers. Ballas had the crowd clapping along to his recent single "Get My Name" and mentioned he is getting ready to release his next, "Miss Incredible," which is dropping in a couple of weeks.
Due to popular demand, Crustacean Beverly Hills extended the successful RedHour Live Music Series until August 27.
RedHour features an impressive weekly lineup of established and emerging musical talents, and has become a hub for celebrities and entertainment industry power players. Throughout the previous series, Joni Mitchell, Macy Gray, Dr. Dre, and Mario stopped by to take their moment on the stage and support the other artists performing. Younger artists, such as Candice Glover (12th Season American Idol winner), Pia Toscano (former American Idol contestant), Jessica Sanchez (former American Idol contestant), Juliet Simms (former Voice contestant), and Jared Lee (singer/songwriter), were frequent performers.
In addition to the live music performances, the Left Shoe Company's 3D shoe scanning machine was on-site at the event. The Left Shoe Company is making waves in the men's fashion arena by producing made-to-measure men's shoes via 3D scanning technology and European craftsmanship. Peter Facinelli, Joe Manganiello, and Michael B. Jordan are amongst the trendsetting celebrities and influencers who are fans of the luxury footwear. RedHour guests were able to experience the 3D scanning capabilities firsthand and view the unique styles in a fashion presentation next to the lounge.
