Within just three minutes of meeting for the first time, Huntington Beach restaurateur Alicia Whitney of the Prjkt Restaurant Group and concert and festival producer John Reese, founder and CEO of Synergy Global Entertainment in Laguna Hills, shook hands on a deal to launch an all-new beachfront music venue.
Back in November, the influential Southern California entrepreneurs, who met through a mutual friend, realized that they shared not only mutual love of live music, but that within their respective businesses, they’ve consistently worked to create a good customer experience, Reese said. The pair will turn Whitney’s SeaLegs at the Beach eatery on Bolsa Chica State Beach, located just off of Pacific Coast Highway, into a nighttime 1,200-capacity, rain-or-shine, music venue dubbed SeaLegs Live.
