Orchestra Baobab

Orchestra Baobab's Afro-Cuban sound is as fresh and captivating as ever. For one night only, Club Hancher becomes the Baobab Club, and the house band takes its rightful place on the stage. Don’t worry—we’ll leave plenty of space for dancing! 

Camila Fernández

Camila Fernández has deep roots and contemporary sensibilities. Building on the mariachi legacies of her famed father and grandfather, she brings the music of yesterday, today, and tomorrow together as she explores the endless possibilities of mariachi and ranchero music.

Nate Smith

Nate Smith fearlessly fuses his original modern jazz compositions with the sounds of R&B, pop, and hip-hop. A series of viral videos—viewed millions of times—has established Smith as one of the most influential and popular drummers of his generation. 

José James

José James and his band will share their gleaming, multifaceted sound—and likely have you dancing in no time. Local rapper and producer Jim Swim opens the show.
