We're just one week out from one of the most massive and vibrant celebrations of the year. And for this year's Mardi Gras season, New Orleans continues to buck expectations with musical offerings that delight the ears, mind and soul. One such weekday exploit includes Mr. Carmack delivering a live performance at Republic NOLA this Tuesday, February 6, with direct support from Tsuruda.
DJ/producer and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Carmack, who drops his first name for "Mr." onstage, utilizes a breadth of life experiences, locations and cultural landscapes to shape the music he produces. As such, unsurprisingly, the underlying thread weaving through Mr. Carmack's discography often lies at the intersection of hip-hop and dance music. As two of the most ubiquitous musical genres found in nearly every corner of the world, hip-hop and electronic dance music converge under Carmack's fingertips, creating a relentless and potent feel-good atmosphere.
On The Original Sound Tour, Mr. Carmack has elevated that high-energy dynamic with a live show featuring himself and other musicians on keys, guitars and the like. Already a committed collaborator, Mr. Carmack can seamlessly harness the shockwave of creative energy that results from live group performances. He then channels that energy into both his rowdiest and most sentimental musical moments, as seen in video clips released from earlier stops on the tour.
Tour support comes at the classically trained and adept hands of special guest and DJ/producer Thomas Tsuruda. Besides a last name already fit for the stage acclaim to come, Salt Lake City-born, L.A.-based Tsuruda has also honed since childhood an early deep dive into music education and production. That musical immersion from a young age has only intensified the sophisticated complexity of Tsuruda's compositions, as heard on his latest full-length album, Move (2017).
Doors for this Tuesday evening show at Republic NOLA open at 9 p.m., and tickets are still available HERE.
