Miles Davis once quipped, “I’ll play it first and tell you what it is later.” Butcher Brown has released forward-thinking and expansive hybrids of jazz and hip-hop since 2013. Today, they have an apt descriptor for their songs: solar music. Drawing inspiration from every sound under the sun, the Richmond, VA band adds elements of funk, soul, and rock to their foundational mix. The result is a Southern-leaning, sometimes psychedelic fusion that feels fresh yet familiar.
Aaron Earl Livingston, also known by his stage name Son Little, is an American rhythm & blues musician from Philadelphia. In his solo career, Little’s musical genre — neo-soul — is a contemporary soul fusion of R&B, jazz and hip-hop with passionate vocals and introspective lyrics.
