Formed in 2008, Red Baraat is a pioneering eight-piece band from Brooklyn, New York. Conceived by Sunny Jain, the group has drawn worldwide praise for its singular sound — a merging of hard-driving North Indian bhangra rhythms with elements of jazz, go-go, brass funk, and hip-hop. Created with a purposeful agenda of manifesting joy and unity in all people, Red Baraat’s spirit is worn brightly on its sweaty and hard-worked sleeve. And is being returned to them in cities all over the world, as word spreads of the band’s incredibly powerful live performances.

AM & Shawn Lee, Don't Talk to the Cops

Friday, June 14, 8 PM, Chop Suey

am_shawn.jpg
Let us welcome you to the latest sun-filled, space funk masterwork by AM & Shawn Lee: La Musique Numerique. The 2nd LP (following 2011's much heralded Celestial Electric) sees the duo expanding their influences while simultaneously refining their sound. La Musique Numerique tightens up the production, blending early digital technology with decade blurring songwriting transporting listeners deeper into the sonic crates from which the music was born.

Download AM & Shawn Lee's FREE tour EP HERE!

Don't Talk to the Cops will also play! So now it's a party and you have to go.

Chris Mann

Friday, June 21, 8 PM, Neptune

5126b3a9260d38.66192016.jpg
Chris Mann certainly shined as a finalist on The Voice, but his star has risen even higher since the hit show's second season. In 2012, Mann signed with Faircraft/Republic, a new label formed by renowned producer/music executive Ron Fair (Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige). His debut full-length, Roads, introduced a whole new generation to the classical-pop genre and shot straight to No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart and Top 5 on Billboard's Classical Chart.

Upon its release, Mann sang for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as part of TNT’s “Christmas In Washington” special, and appeared on other fancy shows and stages. He's pretty cool. You should go see him perform.

Colin Stetson

Friday, June 21, 7:30 PM, Barboza

515f15949983a7.60248973.jpg
Colin Stetson established himself as an intensely original solo composer and performer in 2011 with the release of the widely acclaimed New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges.

Judges ended up on countless year-end lists and emphatically proved that Stetson's approach to solo saxophone transcends niche or genre; a unique and emotionally resonant instrumental music with influences as wide-ranging as jazz, metal, pop, soul, drone, industrial, minimalism, electro-acoustic and modern contemporary.
