Singer

An extraordinary concert featuring the visionary producer, composer, filmmaker and Grammy®-winning Flying Lotus (Steven Ellison), whose ability to masterfully combine electronic, jazz, hip-hop and other styles has solidified his status as one of the iconic creative forces of our time. The futuristic and soulful music of the Melbourne-based, worldwide-beloved, thrice-Grammy®-nominated Hiatus Kaiyote is described best by the band as “wondercore,” having been sampled on songs by The Carters (Beyonce & Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak, Chance The Rapper and Drake among others.

Flying Lotus and Hiatus Kaiyote

The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park

His futuristic outlook and outrageously fluid bass-playing have long made Thundercat a staple of the LA scene, and since stepping into his own as a singer-songwriter, he’s shown he can communicate grief, mourning, love, and joy with the same complexity he brings to his compositions—leading to his 2021 Grammy win for Best Progressive R&B Album. LA beat scene wizard Flying Lotus’ name is synonymous with creative innovation, whether he’s working on Grammy-nominated albums by Kendrick Lamar and Thundercat, assembling his own studio albums, or serving as producer and composer for Netflix’s Yasuke and Adult Swim. His latest, Flamagra, was described as “artful collisions of jazz, J Dilla-inspired beats, West Coast G-funk, and psychedelic soul.” This free concert is Thundercat and Flying Lotus’ first live performance since the two won the 2021 Grammy for Best Progressive R&B Album for Thundercat’s It Is What It Is.
