ABOUT André 3000
André Benjamin—best known as André 3000—is one of the most revered, celebrated artists of the last three decades, an auteur whose work in music, film, fine arts, fashion, and more continues to influence the cultural landscape on a global scale. His work as one half of the iconic hip-hop duo Outkast, with Anton “Big Boi” Patton, established a brand new voice/style within rap that had never been experienced before. The 7x Grammy winning artist released his first solo album in 20 years this past November—New Blue Sun, a wind focused, instrumental album that represents the next step in André’s creative evolution. Released to widespread critical acclaim, New Blue Sun became the first instrumental album to land on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and the opening track "I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a 'Rap' Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time," broke the record for longest song to debut on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Stews
After releasing their debut album, What Was, in April of 2022, The Stews have been a non-stop touring machine. Playing hundreds of shows a year has allowed them to hone in their musical and songwriting skills alike. With 2023 summer tour sellouts ranging from Washington DC's 9:30 Club, Charleston's Windjammer, New York City's Bowery Ballroom, and countless more, The Stews have proven that they are a musical force to be reckoned with. The summer tour even featured a venue record-breaking 800+ day-of-show tickets sold at Avondale Brewing in Birmingham, AL.
In addition to the aforementioned legendary venues, The Stews played to packed out, ravenous crowds at Bonnaroo, Sweetwater 420Fest, and Roosterwalk. The band drove straight from their summer tour finale at Appleton, Wisconsin's Mile of Music to meet up with Moon Taxi to support their fall tour. After months on the roading supporting Moon Taxi, the band returned home to Charleston, SC to finish up their second studio album. With thousands of tickets sold across a three night NYE run in Charlotte, Savannah, and Atlanta, the band capped off a record breaking year.
Looking forward to 2024, The Stews are thrilled to release this new music to a starving audience. The album can't be confined to one genre, as fans will find songs reminiscent of The Allman Brothers, Audioslave, Pink Floyd, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise to name a few.

Cornelius
Cornelius is the brainchild of Japanese multi-instrumentalist Keigo
Oyamada. A performing musician since his teens, Oyamada created his
creative alter-ego (the name is an homage to the Planet of the Apes), in
the early 1990s from the ashes of his previous project, Flipper's
Guitar.
With the 1997 release of Fantasma, Cornelius gained
international recognition for his cut and paste style reminiscent of
American counterparts Beck and The Beastie Boys and was released
internationally by Matador Records. Being called a 'modern day Brian
Wilson' for his orchestral-style arrangements and production techniques,
Cornelius subsequently became one of the most sought after
producer/remixers in the world, working with a wide range of artists
including Blur, Beck, Bloc Party, MGMT, and James Brown.
With
2002's Point, Cornelius' music took a quantum shift, going from sampling
'found sounds' to looping organic elements and creating lush
soundscapes. Using water drops as the rhythmic backbone of 'Drop' on
his vocoder-infused cover of 'Brazil', the album dazed and amazed fans
and set the path for the next phase of his career.
2007 brought
this philosophy to an even higher level with the release of Sensuous.
Cornelius' live shows are known around the world for spectacular visuals
(all perfectly synchronized to the performance), custom lighting that
doesn't simply augment the performance, but becomes another instrument
within it, and a full band of equally talented and diverse players.
The
companion piece to the album Sensurround + B Sides, earned the
nomination for 'Best Surround Sound Album' at the 2009 GRAMMY Awards.
The
summer of 2016 saw the release of Fantasma Remastered, on Lefse
Records. The package, a 2LP reissue of his classic album, also included
4 additional outtakes and earned Pitchfork's 'Best New Reissue'.
Cornelius
has recorded music for Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,
scored the anime mega-film Ghost in the Shell Arise, performed as the
backbone of Yoko Ono's reformed Plastic Ono Band, played the Hollywood
Bowl with Yellow Magic Orchestra, and co-wrote and produced the Japanese
artist salyu x salyu.
