In Honor of LA Fashion Week, SoCal Entertainment (named after Southern California) Shows Some Style ( Layered with Love)

As part of the nightlife scene we have seen some of the best and the worst weekend fashion attire. We wanted to give a head nod to our best dressed karaoke stars and offer some tips on how to prepare for your weekend catwalk to the karaoke stage.



Layered with Love: It’s not doubt that in our area the weather has been a little indecisive. The best bet is to throw on your favorite pair of jeans a cute top and then a sweater or stunning jacket. This way you can remove what you need to feel comfortable but are still prepared for the walk to the car after hours.



Blazers are a great way to dress up any outfit, so you can take you look from your Friday work life to Friday night life.

Leather leggings, yes please! Paid these with a cleaner look for a touch of edge without going OVER the edge.


Don't stuff your summer dress into the back of the closet just because the sun isn't in full shine. Add a wool and warm cardigan with stockings or leggings to rock your favorite dress all year around.



Show off the shorts by piecing it together with a cardigan  and top.

In Honor of LA Fashion Week, SoCal Entertainment (named after Southern California) Shows Some Style ( Heel Hell)

As part of the nightlife scene we have seen some of the best and the worst weekend fashion attire. We wanted to give a head nod to our best dressed karaoke stars and offer some tips on how to prepare for your weekend catwalk to the karaoke stage/ dance floor.


Get Out of Heel Hell: After plenty of liquid courage, we've seen girls brave putting their bare feet on the dance floor just for a moment’s relief from their high heels (cringe).  Besides the sticky mess and dirt there is always the potential of stepping on broken glass. We've heard of suffering for fashion but bleeding over it is another story. Check out some of these awesome shoes that are dance floor approved!

  Ballerina flats are adorable, but lets step out of the cute comfort zone and go for bold. These colored and printed point toe flats add all the character of a high heel without the pain! You can even get them in a staple black in case you are coming from work or already have enough color for the night.

Wedges are always a great find. They allow you more support and still provide the same height as a heel!

 The best of both worlds here...the flat and the wedge collide in these "flat wedge" finds. They are still the new kid on the block in the fashion scene, but are quickly becoming a staple item.

Meet Your DJ- Interview with SoCal Entertainment DJ J-Rock aka Jay

A personal touch is a large part of how SoCal Entertainment  runs a shows. CEO Jeremias de la Cruz continually reminds the team to not only know and engage with their client but also their client's clients- ie YOU!

From reading our posts and twitter feed you might get a vibe of the company and what we are about- fun, professionalism and music- but we’d like to take the time to introduce the team individually as they continue to personally serve music and entertainment at your favorite local night spots.

Name: Jairus Barbee

Alias:  Jay or DJ J-Rock

Twitter Handle: @DJ_J_Rock

JJay is all over! You can find him hosting shows in Danville VA at  Highlanders pub and Hams  but he also takes his talent across state lines  at the Hams locations in Greensboro , High Point and Kernersville.  Although he travels for his shows, Jay calls Greensboro home. He moved to the city from Cleveland, Ohio 15 years ago.

How does he start the night? With Dancing! “I like to start all my shows with a song that everybody knows that will have them singing the words and dancing. I guess I like to play dance music because I like to dance. Seeing people dancing and having fun is always a great feeling.

All of our DJs are happy to play any of your requests and favorite songs- but you and Jay could be music soul mates if you enjoy dance music from hip hop to house electronic- these are his personal favorite genres.

Why did Jay decide to DJ? : “I just like to see the people up dancing singing having a great time. I became a DJ simply because I have a love for music and being around people.”

So where did we find this guy? He was one of You! After attending the shows for years, Jay decided to step to the other side of the booth. He has been with the company for two years now.

All SoCal Entertainment DJs are professional and approachable. They are there for YOU- so don't hesitate to say "hello".
