About
High Notes is a smooth, smoke-friendly karaoke night where the vocals float, the vibes linger, and community takes center stage. Held inside Urbana, one of the Bay’s premier cannabis lounges, this is where laid-back luxury meets soulful expression. From buttery R&B runs to feel-good throwbacks, High Notes invites you to light up, loosen up, and lean into the moment. Whether you’re on the mic or just vibing in the cut, you’ll be surrounded by folks who came to connect, unwind, and lift each other higher.
The Homeplace is more than an event collective - it's a cultural sanctuary. Born in the heart of The Town, we center BIPOC creatives through immersive, music-driven experiences that heal, uplift and activate. We create spaces where stories come alive, where rhythm meets ritual and where culture is felt. From karaoke nights that feel like family cookouts to block parties that bring generations together - we build moments that celebrate who we are, together. Our roots run deep. Our work is love in motion. And our purpose is clear: to make Oakland feel like home again.
