Preservation Hall Jazz Band Presented by Harris Center for the Arts at Harris Center for the Arts Aug 05 - Aug 06, 2019 Their 2017 release So It Is taps into a sonic continuum that stretches back to New Orlean’s Afro-Cuban roots, through its common ancestry with the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti and the Fire Music of Pharoah Sanders and John Coltrane, and forward to cutting-edge artists with whom the Preservation Hall Jazz Band have shared festival stages from Coachella to Newport, including legends like Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello, and the Grateful Dead, and modern giants like My Morning Jacket, Arcade Fire, and the Black Keys. At a moment when musical streams are crossing with unprecedented frequency, it’s crucial to remember that throughout its history, New Orleans has been the point at which sounds and cultures from around the world converge, mingle, and resurface, transformed by the Crescent City’s inimitable spirit and joie de vivre.

Willie K
Willie K Presented by SBL Entertainment at Harris Center for the Arts Aug 11, 2019 When the Honolulu Pulse said, “Willie K can play or sing almost anything an American audience might ask for,” that wasn’t hype, it was the literal truth. The Hawaiian phenomenon Willie K is undoubtedly the only artist in the world who can go into an Irish pub in the middle of Maui and play anything from indigenous acoustic Hawaiian music to jazz, reggae, rock, country and even opera -- and not only get away with it but leave everyone within earshot slack-jawed in astonishment. No less than Prince was a huge fan, calling Willie K a “funky mother#%@&er,” while another avowed fan is a fellow Hawaiian who goes by the name Barack Obama. |

An Evening with Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra
An Evening with Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra Presented by Harris Center for the Arts at Harris Center for the Arts Sep 11, 2019 Ottmar Liebert’s global success can be attributed to a myriad of things -- his creative vision, his determination, and a strong sense of melody.

However, while journeying extensively through Asia and playing with other travelers and local musicians, he realized that he could not escape a life of music.
