• Public, member-supported 88.5 FM, The SoCal Sound/Los Angeles, Southern California’s leading Triple A radio station, announced the lineup for its annual benefit concert, Benefest 2025, happening Friday, Nov. 7, at the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale.

The stacked lineup includes acclaimed rock band White Denim, The Ruby Friedman Orchestra, known for their modern vintage sounds and electrifying performances, and Semisonic frontman and songwriter Dan Wilson, who has achieved remarkable success as a multiple Grammy-winning songwriter for other artists.

A special headliner to round out the lineup will also be announced on Sept. 5. Previous artists who have performed at Benefest include Jackson Browne, Jason Mraz and Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie.

“We are so happy to have announced our annual Benefest,” said PD Mark “Mookie” Kaczor. “The musicians performing see the value in public media and the many things The SoCal Sound has to offer. We are thrilled to partner up with such a talented group of artists. I can’t think of a better way to bring the community together through music.”

Now, more than ever, a portion of the proceeds from Benefest 2025 will directly benefit The SoCal Sound’s mission to provide a unique blend of established, emerging, and diverse music across Southern California and beyond.
