SUMMARY:Jon Batiste: The Big Money Tour
DESCRIPTION:…with Special Guests Andra Day and Diana Silvers! \n\n\nAbout the Concert \n\n\nJon Batiste is a five-time Grammy® Award-winning and Academy Award-winning singer\, songwriter and composer. \nBatiste released his eighth studio album\, Beethoven Blues (Batiste Piano Series\, Vol. 1)\, in November 2024 via Verve Records/Interscope. Marking the first installment in his new solo piano series\, the project showcases Batiste’s interpolations of some of Beethoven’s most iconic works\, reimagined through an expansive lens. These reimagined classics embody the indomitable spirit of the blues\, and – true to Batiste’s “message of open-armed inclusivity” (New York Times) – embrace a broad genre spectrum. \nBeethoven Blues (Batiste Piano Series\, Vol. 1) follows World Music Radio (released August 2023 via Verve)\, which draws inspiration from Batiste’s mission to create community and expand culture with the power of music. Featuring collaborators including Jon Bellion\, Lana Del Rey\, Lil’ Wayne and more\, the album received positive reviews from critics who praised the project for its universal message and genre-defying sound. Hailed by NPR as “a sprawling exploration of what global music can sound like\,” the album received a total of five Grammy® nominations\, including Album of the Year. Batiste kicked off his first-ever headlining tour\, Uneasy Tour: Purifying the Airwaves for the People\, the following year. \nBatiste’s innovative score is featured in Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night\, which was released in theaters in October 2024.
