About This Event

Twenty years as keyboardist and percussionist for O.A.R., plus a background in the percussive ensemble STOMP, have shaped Mikel Paris into something singular: a musician who blends funk, folk, soul, and rock through his signature 'GuitarDrumming' technique. This is a rare chance to catch him live in an intimate setting, spinning through a kaleidoscope of sound that includes guest collaborations with Vernon Reid and G-Love. One night only at The VU.

Featuring: Mikel Paris
