FREE SHOW featuring Graham Wilkinson, Kalu James and Sydney Wright with Auralai. 7PM DOORS // 8PM MUSIC Graham Wilkinson "Graham is like no other musician on the scene with charisma in spades and the songs to match. Graham will make you think, drink, dance, maybe even kiss a stranger.” - Hayes Carll https://www.grahamwilkinsonmusic.com Kalu James "Blending both West African and American brands of funk with bluesy grit and psychedelic ambience, along with a chin-out attitude." - Billboard https://www.kaluandtheelectricjoint.com Sydney Wright "Drawing heavily from poly-rhythms, with loops of piano, guitar, beatbox and doo-wops, her performing skills are practiced and mesmerizing, with an impressive knack for creating and looping tracks during live performances. Even listening to just one song off her new debut album, her raw artistry, vulnerability and songwriting prowess speaks volumes. https://sydneywrightmusic.com/ Auralai A foundation of cello, abstract but vivid lyrics, and complex and catchy rhythms and melodies make for a fiercely engaging experience. No slave to conventional songwriting or classical cello form, Auralai's unique brand of cello-pop brings a much needed breath of fresh air to the contemporary music scene. https://www.auralai.com/about Black Fret is a 501(c)3 charity headquartered in Austin, Texas with chapters in Seattle, Colorado's Front Range and NOW Northwest Arkansas.
