Del's Juke Joint-where Harlem Renaissance vibes meet modern Black excellence. From gut-busting laughs to groove-heavy jams, this variety show revives the spirit of the original juke joints-and reimagines it for today.

Presented by Del Harrison, Del's Juke Joint is a late night television featuring 4 artists who perform clean comedy, soul-shaking music, raw poetry, and/or tell stories. It's unapologetic Black joy with music being composed live from a 4 piece band. From gut-busting laughs to groove-heavy jams, Del's Juke Joint upholds the Black American tradition of "juke joints" where classy Black folks met up in speak-easys to hear live music, a few jokes, exchange stories and connect, essentially relieving stress for the community.

It's Def Comedy Jam meets Def Poetry Jams meets MTV Unplugged, but family friendly. Del's Juke Joint is bringing back the true showcase in its purest form, exchanging competition for celebration of emerging talent. It highlights the artists in behind-the-scenes interviews and hilarious backstage banter. Del's Juke Joint is an inclusive showcase, opening the stage to other artists from our rich American tapestry.

Filmed at Black-owned LTE Studios, founded by Dion Lack, this series fosters real American tradition, reveals authentic history within

Born in the middle of The Pandemic, Del's Juke Joint began in 2020 as a live show in various Black-owned venues in Los Angeles, inviting community participants to come and share, in uncertain times. Crowds looked forward to this monthly show, which became a watering hole for artists who were eager to perform during this limited time. As thing returned to normal, Del Harrison continued to produce Del's Juke Joint - taking it to Leimert Park, Black-owned art galleries in Beverly Hills, downtown LA and Hollywood. In 2023, Del's Juke Joint was awarded the ACTA Grant for $10K to further uphold this rich American tradition.
