Adem Tesfaye

Songwriter and guitarist Adem Tesfaye landed back in his native Madison fairly early on during the COVID-19 pandemic and ended up staying. That's been a happy situation for local music listeners, who have once again had the chance to hear Tesfaye's unique mixture of funk, blues, hip-hop and rock from local stages on a regular basis. Tesfaye and band will unveil a new album at this show, a preview of which emerged in March in the form of the single “Pressure,” featuring Tesfaye and bandmates Lacouir Yancey (bass) and Joe White (drums). Guests for this concert include Jah Boogie, Doses, TC Thomas and Black Poet Society.

$20 ($15 adv.). with special guests Lacouir Yancey, JAH Boogie, Doses, TC Thomas, Black Poet Society and more!
