ChoiceCuts FutureJazzSeries Presents: Madison McFerrin
An “understated, compelling testament to the power and dexterity of the human voice.” -Pitchfork, May 2018
with Fehdah (solo support)
& Shookrah (DJ set)
Madison bears the torch of three generations of vocal pioneers. As the LA Weekly noted, she employs her jazz virtuoso father, Bobby McFerrin’s vocal techniques “to more soulful ends.” Her use of electronic music stylings reflects the influence of her brother, Brainfeeder producer, Taylor McFerrin. However, her collage of artistic inspiration that includes the Beatles, Radiohead, Hiatus Kaiyote, Stevie Wonder and Jill Scott emerge in her multilayered lyrics that rest in a bed of harmonies uniquely her own.
Location of event
Venue Information - The Sugar Club
"It's a venue to die for. Wood panelled walls, plush banquette seating and a pristine sound system render the rest of Dublin's night-life cruddy in comparison."The Irish Times
After opening in 1963 The Irish Film Theatre closed its doors in 1985. It would be another 14 years before the space would be used again and so it was in August 1999 that The Sugar Club was born.
