She’s an unabashed theater kid who grew up into an Ivy League-educated pop femme fatale at the helm of a crazy\, candy-coated\, and colorful world of her own making. With a bold voice thats as vibrant as her personality\, the New Jersey-born Chinese-American songstress delivers clever and catchy anthems meant to be blasted out loud.After gathering over a quarter-of-a-billion streams\, selling out shows\, and attracting multi-GRAMMY Award-winning mega-producer Ricky Reed [Lizzo\, Leon Bridges\, Camila Cabello\, Phantogram\, Jon Batiste] to her corner\, she embraces her theatricality on her Night At The Opera EP [Atlantic Records / Nice Life].I grew up doing theater\, but the vibe changed when my pop music career started\, she states. I wanted to lean into being a theater kid again. This project is definitely a homecoming. My subconscious bullied teenage brain is always like\, You dont want to try so hard. Just be cool. But fuck that! I like trying hard. Its part of who I am. I care about every little detail. So\, youre going to get all of the pain\, emotion\, and drama from me!

In late autumn of 2026\, Scofield looks back at many of his now classic fusion groove compositions with Electrospective. Not intending to replicate the earlier fan favorites\, he plans instead to revisit them with the seasoned perspective of several decades; culling tunes from his Blue Matter\, Uberjam\, and AGoGo bands each responsible for a few recordings as well as new material in the same vein. Scofield looks forward to teaming up with a stellar band of colleagues\, Electrospective will rely on interpretative input from Scofield alum and super funk drummer/producer Adam Deitch (Lettuce)\, multidimensional Larry Goldings (Scary Goldings\, James Taylor) on keyboards\, and legendary bassist Oteil Burbridge (Dead & CO.\, Tedeschi Trucks\, Allman Brothers). With this repertoire so frequently (and loudly) requested by audience members\, Scofield is glad to have a band that will truly do the music justice.

On their new album The Last Balloon\, the New Orleans-bred outfit channel those impulses into something celebratory yet profoundly human\, exploring themes of frustration\, resilience\, and self-realization with equal parts raw emotionality and playful exuberance. A shapeshifting collective helmed by lead singer Tarriona Tank Ball and multi-instrumentalist Norman Spence II\, the globally beloved group completed the LP after winning a GRAMMY for 2024s spoken-word powerhouse The Heart\, The Mind\, The Soul\, moving from incendiary poetry to a euphoric collision of soul and hip-hop and forward-thinking Rs Green Balloon (a critical triumph that earned them a GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist)\, The Last Balloon ultimately solidifies Tank and the Bangas legacy as one of modern musics most steadfast voices of sublime exhilaration.Executive-produced by their frequent collaborator Austin Brown (Jamila Woods\, Masego)\, The Last Balloon offers up a suite of songs designed to thrive in Tank and the Bangas rapturous live set\, where unified movement becomes crucial to the show itself. Were known for a very interactive experience\, so I wanted to get the fans more involved and have even more fun with the crowd\, says Ball. Theres lots of gang vocals\, handclaps\, all these intentional moments to let everyone know\, This is my part\, but your parts coming up nextso get ready. A highly collaborative band whose past work has featured luminaries like Big Freedia\, Questlove\, and Jill Scott\, Tank and the Bangas created The Last Balloon with the help of Iman Omari (a multifaceted musician whos worked with Kendrick Lamar and Mac Miller)\, pianist/producer Tane Runo (Brittany Howard\, JID)\, esteemed soul singers Ledisi and Jelly Joseph\, and many more. The result: a party-ready extravaganza that provides both ecstatic catharsis and communal elevation. Mainly recorded at The Complex Studios (an iconic L.A. spot once home to Earth\, Wind & Fire)\, The Last Balloon unfolds in a loosely woven storyline charting a journey from self-doubt and erasure to empowered self-reclamation. \nPlease Note:\nThis event is 17 and over.
