This will be an HEAVY evening of ROCK, SOUL, FUNK and HOUSE music.
NADIR OMOWALE
“Nadir is the bridge between classic and contemporary R&B….He is a crucial link in the chain of great Detroit soul men.” – Don Was, President, Blue Note Records, Grammy Winning Producer of The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Bonnie Raitt and more.
“This Southern-bred singer-songwriter and his stalwart band play with an aplomb that could raise the corpses of Marley and Hendrix. No $h!t… To label them simply neo-soul would be downright reductive.” – Metro Times (Detroit, Michigan)
A fifteen-time Detroit Music Award winner, Nadir Omowale’s music reaches across genres and political aisles – sometimes with a gentle, outstretched hand, and occasionally with a clenched fist – always challenging listeners with a funk inspired, Motor City sound that is as relevant today, as Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong were in the sixties and seventies.
IS EVOLUTION
Inohs Sivad has made music that has been called “transformative”. Her band, IS Evolution, creates music that blends genres, crosses cultures, and meshes melodies. Together, they’ve fused their individual musical influences to develop an exciting and original a heavy metal/soul hybrid that is like nothing you’ve ever heard.
PIRAHNAHEAD
Musician, DJ, producer, orchestral arranger/conductor– each of these words describe Pirahnahead. If you listen to any of Pirahnahead’s productions, he is usually the band.
