Hell yeah! That's super exciting
Get to see her next Friday and I see Bon Iver a week from today. Can’t wait haven’t seen Charli since Sucker came out but we did take a pic then so it’s cool

let us know how that goes. the lighting for this tour looks really cool and intense
The ticket fee revenue dispute between Coffee County and Manchester continues. I think the threat to move the festival still lacks credibility given the continued buildout of the farm, but I guess crazier things have happened. Easy to threaten, much harder to execute.
I wouldn’t mind if they moved to Nashville, potentially hot take?
if it moves to Nashville there's no camping, and probably nowhere near the late nights. Sounds pretty dire
Oh I guess I assumed there would still be camping since it said there were properties in Nashville that could accommodate. The late nights not being a thing would suck. I also don’t mind afters at city fests if they went that direction

Been playing Tinashe’s ‘333 (Deluxe)’ a lot lately. Really excited for her set! She and Tierra Whack should make for a really great Sunday before Stevie.
Got some CloZee in at halftime of the Pelicans game. There was an acrobat lady who was flipping off some extended flexible board or something. She was doing it to the CloZee song with the female African chant that's kind of gotten popularized the last couple years. After that this lady in front of us's daughter won a $5k scholar-athlete scholarship and had her in tears which was also super cool.

Cory Henry’s new single The Fool is great! Very prince esq.
Good shit D. Can't wait to see him!
The song features contributions from Sharay Reed, TaRon Lockett, Isaiah Sharkey, Matia Washington and Nicholas Semrad. Article on Jambase says he's still paying soulful tribute to Prince, Stevie Wonder, etc. I'm wanting that set to feature his playing ability (jazz), but I'll take whatever I get.

woah that’s super cool I didn’t know all that. I can hear the Stevie Wonder influence now too, but still sounds most like Prince to me. Hopefully we get to see some of his jazz playing!
Yeah too bad Snarky Puppy never (?) played Bonnaroo when he was in it or even still now. But he’s such a great keyboard talent, that I’m willing to skip anything else going on at the time Saturday. Then Herbie on Sunday. As someone who grew up loving Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman and Tony Banks, I can’t ever get enough virtuoso level keys. We get two sets, and both are in my Top few shows heading in.
Also he put out a clip for his 2012 tour. Based on that I feel like it’s going to be a mix of what he does but maybe on the soulful side probably more than gospel that he was doing last year. He released a cover of Sly &TFS’s If it were left up to me, and that’s OG soul. Im assuming this tour isn’t with Funk Apostles which is another project because they would have told us. Let me see if I can find some shit on it beside that minute and a half YouTube clip for the ‘22 tour.
I found this which may be all common knowledge, but still…
One of the music industry’s most in-demand collaborators, Cory earned three more Grammy nominations this year for his contributions as a co-producer/writer on Ye’s DONDA, nominated for both Album of the Year and Best Rap Album, and Eric Bellinger’s New Light, nominated in the Best Progressive R&B Album category. Cory’s soulful organ soundscapes can also be heard on Imagine Dragons’ “Follow You,” Frank Ocean's “Come On World, You Can't Go!,” Rosalía’s “G3 N15,” and the new Red Hot Chili Peppers single “Poster Child.”
Okay I was able to find Jambase’s review of the Boston show 3/18. It mentions Funk Apostles backing, so maybe that wasn’t a one off? He is in Australia and Japan the next few weeks, so hopefully some clips make it online.
The review:
Henry’s performance was equal parts Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder and when Tank and the Bangas followed his set, they put on a hyperdynamic show whose sound touched on artists ranging from Kamasi Washington to Nicki Minaj.
Henry took the stage flanked by a formal drums/bass rhythm section, two backup vocalists, and a second keyboard player to hold down the fort while he went full-wizard on his holy trinity Hammond/Roland/Moog rig. Henry cut his teeth as a preschooler wowing church audiences on the organ but it was his monophonic pitch-shifting leads on the Moog that truly peeled eyes and dropped jaws.
As a vocalist, Henry’s ability to weave in between multiple octaves hits your heart as hard as your ears but unlike plenty of vocalists with that kind of range, it doesn’t come off as forced or even difficult. He makes it seem casual. As a frontman, Henry has a natural charisma that can’t be learned that accompanies a performance methodology that borrows heavily from Mick Jagger’s “Book on Engaging Stadium Nosebleeds” but applied it to the nightclub setting.
While Tank and the Bangas are widely regarded as an act on the rise, Henry has been in the business since 2006 and as a virtuoso who doesn’t seem fond of writing hooks, it’s no stretch to say his commercial ceiling isn’t on par with that of his current tour mates. With that said, he tends to play a bigger room every time he comes through Boston and it’s a fair bet that the days of seeing either of these acts in a venue with a capacity of 933 is nearing its end.
By the end of the night, it was clear to everyone in the house that this was a show that years from now, ticketholders would be bragging that they saw these acts share the stage for under a thousand people.
March 18 - The Fool starts around 7 minutes. Ridiculous jam after the main song gets played. Haha. This will rule live.
a few of y'all know but i saw flatland cavalry for the second time last night and they are so. much. fun. got to meet their lead singer cleto after the show and the guy has a heart of gold. if y'all are on the campgrounds wednesday and have nothing better to do, check them out!
Saw WILLIS last Saturday in Savannah GA and they were good! They had a band called Parrotfish open for them and I just realized they are The Who lineup! They were also pretty good, their guitarist was great and they were fun overall so I’d go see them again if nothing else is going on. Also Roo should book WILLIS, would be fun in one of the tents early morning.
