David Shabani with Rebel Foster
David Shabani is an alt. hip-hop artist from Austin, TX (by way of Kinshasa, Paris, Montreal, Toronto, and Dallas). Join him and Philly’s own Rebel Foster for a night that’ll smoothly blend original music with the sounds of hip-hop, soul and R&B. See you at Wow! ABOUT DAVID SHABANI Born to Congolese parents in Paris, Shabani immigrated to Canada before launching alternative hip-hop artistry in Texas. In an area where the music culture is expansive and rapidly accelerating, Shabani’s sound keeps pace by blending compellingly personal lyrics with high-energy backbeats that combine to work double time. The result is a product that dually satisfies the late night thrill seeker with stimulating, club pounding rhythms while still providing the idle listener with lyrics that flow in a story-like format. Influenced by Kid Cudi, Kaytranada, Lupe Fiasco, and Childish Gambino, Shabani identifies with the outsiders of hip-hop. The independent artist’s catalog spans 50+ original songs which he’s performed at iconic venues and festivals including Antone’s, Empire Garage & Control Room, SXSW, and the ESPN X Games, supporting and sharing stages with Ashanti, D Smoke, K CAMP, Trinidad James, Mac Miller, and Kanye West. ABOUT REBEL FOSTER Community motivates everything Philadelphia DJ, Rebel Foster, does — his artistry is galvanized by the idea music brings people together. His moniker is literal and speaks to his wide variety in styles, he’s known for switching up styles from house to hip-hop, trap to funk and more. You’re guaranteed to leave his events feeling better than when you came in.

Evening with Local H
This will be held in CAMBRIDGE HALL.Local H, the iconic alt-rock duo known for their blistering live shows and unorthodox two-piece setup, are at the top of their game three decades after they first burst onto the music scene. Now, frontman Scott Lucas, who covers both guitar and bass (through an extra pick up in his guitar), and drummer Ryan Harding are gearing up to release their 9th studio album, LIFERS. Local H’s first major release was 1995’s Ham Fisted, but it was their 1996 follow up album As Good As Dead that positioned the band as one of the elites of 90s rock. The radio hit “Bound For The Floor” emerged as a generational anthem and remains a staple on playlists around the country today. Their widely praised 1998 concept album Pack Up the Cats solidified Local H as a leader in the genre, and the albums that followed reflected not only the band’s definitive character, but also their relentless effort to give their audience as much of themselves as possible. The past five years have been some of the busiest of their career. They released their 8th studio album Hey, Killer, numerous EPs and live records, and a series of “Mix Tapes” featuring a surprising mix of cover songs. They’ve toured almost constantly, with hugely successful tours with the likes of and , including performances on ‘s sold out stadium tour. 2020 will see the band on tour with fellow 90s alt-rock vets in the Spring, and their new album LIFERS will be out April 10 via AntiFragile Music. http://www.localh.com/21+
