Terranea, Los Angeles’s premier oceanfront resort celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, invites guests of all ages to its annual Music on the Meadows event on July 4 from 2:00 – 9:00p.m. The day’s activities include performances by legendary musical acts Wilson Phillips, J.R. Richards, formerly of Dishwalla, and other local favorites; an array of culinary offerings including the resort’s signature Farm-to-Terranea cuisine, craft beers from local breweries, wine and spirits, and much more. The event takes place on the resort’s Meadows Lawn which offers sweeping coastal views of the Pacific and nearby Catalina Island.
With five studio albums, four Grammy Award and two American Music Award nominations, Wilson Phillips’ harmony-rich sound continues to resonate with audiences around the world. Their iconic hit, “Hold On,” reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and was named “Hot 100 Single of the Year” at the Billboard Music Awards. Additional hits, including “Release Me” and “You’re in Love,” helped catapult their self-titled debut to #2 on the Billboard Albums Chart, selling over 10 million copies worldwide and making it the best-selling album of all time by an all-female group at the time. After a 10-year hiatus, Wilson Phillips reunited and were back to business releasing albums and making appearances. In 2011, they appeared in the blockbuster hit comedy “Bridesmaids,” Chynna Phillips competed on season 13 of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” and Carnie Wilson was the runner-up on season 2 of Food Network’s “Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off.”
J.R. Richards began his career as the lead singer of the alternative rock band Dishwalla. The band released their debut album Pet Your Friends in 1995 with the Richards-penned hit “Counting Blue Cars.” Richards won a Billboard Music Award for Top Mainstream Rock Track of the Year and won two ASCAP Awards for the Most Performed Song of The Year. Richards’ debut solo album A Beautiful End was released in 2009 and debuted in the Top 50 on iTunes. He has also written songs for hit TV shows “How I Met Your Mother” and “Criminal Minds.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Wilson Phillips as part of an incredible lineup for this year’s Music on the Meadows, celebrating the resort’s 10th anniversary,” says Agnelo Fernandes, Chief Strategy Officer & EVP at Terranea Resort. “The combination of unparalleled musical talent, festive food and beverages, and sweeping ocean views are what makes our annual summer celebration so special and something we are so proud to offer our guests and locals.”
