Gitkin with Special Guest Carol C (Balcony Room) • SAT APR. 13 • 11PM

Blue Nile Balcony Room Global Groove presents Gitkin with Special Guest Carol C

Indulge your sonic wanderlust with the sounds of Gitkin, the grammy nominated multi instrumentalist traverses realms of psychedelic cumbia, mystical blues, spaghetti western and middle eastern surf resulting in a genuine expression of musicality that flows through Gitkin’s guitar and production. 

With streaming numbers surpassing 250,000 monthly listeners, Gitkin's musical allure loosely defined as psychedelic world beat has hit a nerve with fans. His debut, "Five Star Motel," showcased mastery in earthy funk, while the subsequent release, "Safe Passage," expanded his palette, drawing inspiration from Greek and Middle Eastern modalities, Peruvian Chicha, and Tuareg Saharan guitar styles.

PRE-PARTY IN THE BALCONY ROOM WITH CAROL C at 9PM!

A "Vodou rock and roots" band, RAM incorporates traditional Vodou lyrics and instruments, such as rara horns and Petwo drums, into modern rock-and-roll grooves.

To hear it is to connect with a distinctive sound that could only have been born in Haiti.

Blue Nile Global Groove presents KUMASI

ADVANCE TICKETS $15

We fell in love with a style of music created by Fela Kuti and Tony Allen nearly 50 years ago, and now we’re bringing it to the people of New Orleans. We play some great Fela tunes, and some afro-funk from 70s Ghana, but the majority of our live show is original music, stemming from West African concepts, composed to make any crowd move and groove.
