Apr 25, 2023

Pioneering singer, songwriter, actor, and activist (among many other superlatives) Harry Belafonte recently passed away at the age of 96. Today, we celebrate him through selections from his vast songbook. Impromptu dance parties are strongly encouraged.

Also strongly encouraged is immediately putting ears on Thundercat’s first new single in over three years. “No More Lies,” finds our favorite yacht-rock-informed jazz man teaming with Tame Impala for a smooth (yet funky) jam. Plus, take an extended sonic tour of our ticket giveaway portal, and get yourself in the running to win entry to one of the many excellent shows currently on offer. We strongly recommend the otherwise SOLD OUT Danielle Ponder show happening Wednesday, May 24 at the Troubadour.
