Marlon Funaki –  Half Moon Tour
with special guests to be announced
Doors 7pm // Music 8pm
ALL AGES
After spending the better part of the past couple of years on the road playing to packed clubs filled with enthusiastic young fans, Funaki is excited to return to his Southern California home studio preparing his next set of genre-melding releases. His unique blend of soulful, psychedelic indie rock, with R&B, hip-hop and flourishes of shoegaze and jazz allows his muse to move in any/all directions at once and still come away sounding only like Marlon Funaki.
His Warner Records debut track is a dreamy, Latin groove-infused “Let You In,” set for a January 9threlease. In the months ahead, his yet-untitled forthcoming major label EP, finds the artist unafraid to explore all sonic possibilities, including the proggy  “Skin,” are texturized, dizzying soul-driven journeys, while the deliberate melodies of “Trillion Things” and “Meant to Be ”highlight Funaki’s lyrical prowess.“ It still amazes me to this day that something that I made in my bedroom traveled this far,” he says of his rising popularity with an ever-growing global fan base. “It’s cool to see how far that music travels.” This is just the beginning of the next exciting chapter in a truly exciting musical universe.

Saturday, March 28 at 7:30 PM

Famed Broadway music director and the Festival’s Goode Family Artistic Advisor for Musical Theater and the American Songbook, Rob Fisher cut his musical teeth on Gershwin. The uniquely American music that George and Ira Gershwin created fused classical, Broadway, jazz and Tin Pan Alley to form an exhilarating new kind of music for the 20th century and beyond, conquering stage and screen with enduring classics like “Embraceable You,” “Summertime,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and “Rhapsody in Blue” a favorite for audiences and orchestras. Rob Fisher curated the Carnegie Hall Gershwin Centennial celebrations of Ira’s in 1996 and George’s in 1998. The Gershwin brothers’ timeless songs explore the joys and disappointments of love, brought vividly to life by Ross Lekites (Brigadoon, Frozen) and Patti Murin (Frozen, Wicked). In this must-hear concert, Fisher gathers Broadway singers and a swinging quartet for a trip down a memory lane of greatness, courtesy of the immortal Gershwin brothers.

Perry Pavilion 451 Bank Street Norfolk, VA 23510

Co-produced by Virginia Arts Festival and North Shore Point Downtown

They met at James Madison University, and now they’re attracting critical acclaim with roots/folk songs that fans can’t get enough of: compulsive and immediate anthems to be sung or shouted out loud. “If it’s possible to fall head over heels for a band, then Palmyra is [that] band. Beautiful, full of gorgeous harmony… a masterclass in tension and release: I caught myself holding my breath” (Red Line Roots)
