SUMMARY:MATT VON RODERICK BAND
DESCRIPTION:Inhabiting the rarified air of innovative jazz trumpeter and heart-centered crooner\, Matt Von Roderick has been hailed as “a post-millennial Chet Baker” by the New York Times and “a top-drawer trumpeter who also sings like an angel obscured by a storm cloud” by JazzTimes Magazine. \nMatt’s uplifting message and poignant sound have been featured among the world’s most celebrated venues\, including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. If you can imagine a one-of-a-kind trumpet virtuosity paired with dreamy vocals\, deeply authentic jazz roots and soaring soundscapes\, you’re beginning to conjure the artistry of Matt Von Roderick. \nVon Roderick has enjoyed working with many of the most respected names in jazz and beyond\, including Brad Mehldau\, Kenny Werner\, Antonio Sanchez\, Chris Potter\, Neil Diamond\, Dionne Warwick and The Saturday Night Live Band. Von Roderick and his clarion tone have appeared in numerous film and television spots including SNL and The Ellen Show\, as well as at events with best-selling author and spiritual activist Marianne Williamson. Matt was named the 1st place winner of The Independent Music Awards Jazz Category as judged by progressive Rock icon Lou Reed\, awarded as finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition\, and was a recipient of the Vilar Global Fellowship\, dubbed the “Rhodes Scholarship” of the performing arts by The New York Times. \nVon Roderick often combines his classic\, lush tones with adventurous vocal/trumpet multiphonics\, a dash of loops and contemporary spoken word to create what the International Trumpet Guild calls “exquisite”\, while Downbeat Magazine describes his musical approach as being “Zen-like”. \nMatt Von Roderick prioritizes the spiritual aspects of music. He genuinely loves his audiences — it is his great joy to bring you joy.

SUMMARY:The Free Nationals
DESCRIPTION:The Free Nationals have returned with a new single\, “Gangsta\,” featuring their friends A$AP Rocky and Anderson .Paak. \nBest known for being Anderson .Paak’s live band\, The Free Nationals have toured the world meeting countless artists who inspire them. While the number of contemporary musicians who inspire them would take an anthology of box sets to cover\, they have boiled it down to a handful of artists to include on the album\, all of whom lend their talents in spreading the funk.  Free Nationals means the first people of America\, indigenous to the land before Columbus came. The group seeks to pay respect to the musicians that came before them\, staying indigenous to the funk. They pay tribute to their inspirations such as Stevie Wonder\, B.B. King\, Herbie Hancock\, and Al Green by incorporating technical musicianship and pioneering musical euphoria for a new generation. \nTheir debut self-titled album featured an all-star cast of friends they’ve met along their musical journey\, including the late Mac Miller\, Syd\, Anderson .Paak\, Kali Uchis\, T.I.\, JID\, Westside Gunn\, Conway\, Chronixx\, Daniel Caesar\, Unknown Mortal Orchestra\, Kadhja Bonet\, MIKNNA\, Benny Sings\, and Joyce Wrice. Released December 13\, 2019\, the album has gone on to sell over 265\,000 units; highlighted by a 2020 Grammy nomination for “Best Progressive R&B Album.” Singles “Beauty & Essex” (ft. Daniel Caesar & Unknown Mortal Orchestra) & “Time” (ft. Mac Miller & Kali Uchis) have since reached RIAA Gold certification. \nIn 2020\, prior to the pandemic shut down\, the Free Nationals completed an album release headline tour\, selling out all dates in advance. Returning to touring in the summer of 2022\, the Free Nationals—alongside Anderson .Paak—supported the Red Hot Chili Peppers in arenas throughout Europe & the United Kingdom; and finished out the year supporting Herbie Hancock at the Hollywood Bowl. \nThe band’s 2023 was highlighted by a guest TV appearance on Freeform’s Grown-ish and mainstage festival performances at Okeechobee Festival in Florida (with special guest set performers Anderson .Paak\, Big Boi\, and Earth Wind & Fire); and Roskilde Festival in Denmark to an amazing 80\,000 person crowd. \nIn 2024\, we will see the Free Nationals return once again to Freeform’s Grown-ish for a follow-up episode. The group will also return to the stage in late April with Anderson .Paak for the New Orleans Jazz Festival. Along with their single release for “Gangsta\,” more music is expected to be on the way.
