Hip-hop icon and creative juggernaut, André 3000, has just announced a string of intimate live shows under the banner “New Blue Sun Live” Tour. This series of performances will be a direct offshoot of his critically acclaimed instrumental album, New Blue Sun, which was released last November by Epic Records. André 3000’s versatility is on full display in this album, which he co-produced with renowned multi-instrumentalist Carlos Niño.
New Blue Sun is a work of art that does not just play; it lives and breathes. Each track is an improvised aural organism, a collab between André and an illustrious lineup of musicians including Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, Deantoni Parks, Diego Gaeta, Matthewdavid, V.C.R, Diego Gaeta, Jesse Peterson, and Mia Doi Todd.
The “New Blue Sun Live” tour is set to commence on January 29 at Brooklyn, NY, and then settles in for a three-night residency at Manhattan’s iconic Blue Note Jazz Club, where attendees will be treated to two shows per night. The tour’s waves will then ripple out to Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, and San Francisco, before concluding with a five-night run at The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever in Los Angeles.
For those ready to bask in the glow of the New Blue Sun, tickets go on sale on Wednesday, January 24 at 10am local time. Save the date, and prepare to embark on this unique musical journey. Check out the tour dates below…
