The songs that make up "Jump for Joy"—the sharpest and most autobiographical that Taylor has written under the Hiss name—read as a sort of epistolary, postcards between the present-day songwriter and his alias Michael Crow, a teenaged dreamer very much like Taylor himself, who trips his way through the 14 tunes that make up the record. In this way, "Jump for Joy" is a meditation on a life lived with art, and the ways that our hopes and dreams and decisions bump up against—and, with a little bit of luck, occasionally merge with—real life.

Dúal: That which has or brings together two different characters or phenomena.

In this show Mercedes Ruiz and Santiago Lara unite their talents and their common vision of flamenco to create

something very special. An intimate work, rich in expressiveness, in styles, where both must give 100% of themselves.

Just Guitar and Dance. Music and Choreography.

Nude art.

A journey through different styles of flamenco, where the evolution of tradition is the common denominator.

Two artists united in life and art.

Two committed artists.

Two exceptional artists and a unique Tandem.

British-Brazilan singer-songwriter Liana Flores pairs dream-like vignettes of her intimate world with wistful guitar melodies to get lost in, combining a unique and intoxicating range of stylistic influences from British folk and classic jazz to ‘60s Brazilian bossa nova.

Following the runaway global success of her self-released track 'rises the moon', Liana's debut album 'Flower of the Soul', produced by Noah Georgeson (Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart, Natalia Lafourcade) is a truly transportive debut; an album that is a clear statement of artistic intent. Across its runtime, Flores paints vivid pictures of nature, fantasy, love and loss with her crystalline vocals always ensuring that the listener is placed directly into her world. 

Following sold out album release shows in the US and the UK, Liana now embarks on a 28 day tour of the US, UK and Europe this fall. 

“Showcases her breathtaking voice over lush, elegant arrangements." - FADER

“Liana Flores’ soothing voice is as diaphanous as her finger-picked jazz guitar.” - Uproxx

Born and raised in Detroit’s inner-city, BLKBOK (Pronounced “Black Bach”) is a critically acclaimed, neo-classical piano prodigy who fuses pop and hip-hop culture with classical music in his live piano based performance. BLKBOK’s debut album, Black Book, served as a founding cornerstone at the very first Juneteenth Foundation’s Freedom Concert. He uses dexterous arrangements and melodic scores to audibly illustrate the innovative and disruptive musical landscape that is BLKBOK. 

“When people see me, snapback, inked up Black man, they make a lot of assumptions about me, people expect me to start rapping, and they’re not 100% wrong, I am a rapper. Except I spit lyrics and I tell my stories through my hands, with these notes… You see me one way, you hear me another. It’s about marrying those two concepts and building bridges through music.” BIKBOK

“All of these things, the pop music influence, the Motown influence, the classical influence–all of these things came together at one point and that’s how I am positioned in my true authentic self… I’m someone who studied classical music as a child but also was very influenced by hip hop and pop music–and toured with a bunch of pop acts … this is just the manifestation of so many things coming together.”  BLKBOK

“Growing up, I was into hip-hop and rap like all the kids in my neighborhood, but I was also obsessed with the music of Mozart, Debussy and Bach – just as much as I was with Mos Def, or Biggie, or Busta Rhymes…” BLKBOK
