James Blake
The engine behind some of the most influential albums of the 21st century brings his untouchable musicianship to the stage in a solo piano performance.
The Grammy Award- and Mercury Prize-winning UK singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer has produced choice cuts on Frank Ocean’s Blonde, Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. and Dave’s We’re All Alone in This Together, as well as Jay-Z’s 4:44 and Beyoncé’s Lemonade, both of which he also lent his voice to.
Alongside solo projects of his own, he has collaborated with the likes of Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar and Lil Yachty. Having kicked off the year with a stand-out appearance alongside Timothée Chalamet on SNL, performing deep cuts from Bob Dylan’s catalogue, Blake is now gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated seventh studio album.
Monica Martin is a Chicago-born singer-songwriter who grew up in rural Wisconsin. She fronted the acclaimed experimental-folk-pop sextet, PHOX, formed just outside Madison, Wisconsin, before moving to LA. She’s recently been touring as support for James Blake, Marcus Mumford, Nickel Creek and Lake Street Dive.
