Thursday Feb 4th - Thursday Feb 11th, 2027 BRAZIL is the largest Latin country in the Americas
Event Details
Thursday Feb 4th – Thursday Feb 11th, 2027
BRAZIL is the largest Latin country in the Americas with cultural influences of this country are a blend of Native American, African, European and Portuguese customs. As an added fact, it claims the most recognized and uninhibited of all Carnival celebrations on the globe.
For the people of Brazil, Carnival is an enormous festival of pride, culture and party energy celebrated annually before Lent each. While Salvador da Bahia claims the largest celebration, Rio de Janeiro’s, massive Street Parties (called Blocos), lavish Masquerade Balls and prestigious Samba school competition make it the epic televised event watched around the world!
The signature parade competition in Rio’s Sambadrome Stadium goes on through the entire week, where the top samba troops in the city contend fiercely for the coveted championship crown. Showcased are large, hand-crafted, visually impressive parade floats from each Samba school, led by a beautiful “Samba Queen”. The Samba Queen is accompanied by thousands (yes, thousands) of male & female singers, drummers and dancers in dazzling costumes performing choreographed routines to the Samba beat. It is such an overwhelming, exuberant display of artistry & showmanship – that if you look closely, you’ll may even spot several Samba dancers with absolutely no costume at all! (WHOA)
After the past twelve years of attendance, we can say this event never disappoints! Make plans as we set our sites on a proper return next February. Join the Funky People for the the biggest party on the planet at Carnavale 2027!

CATCH THE WAVES ALBUM TOUR 2026: Making USA tour stops in NY, Philly & the DC-DMV areas, Moonchild performs live in early Spring April 2026. L.A.-based alternative
Event Details
CATCH THE WAVES ALBUM TOUR 2026: Making USA tour stops in NY, Philly & the DC-DMV areas, Moonchild performs live in early Spring April 2026.
L.A.-based alternative R&B trio, Moonchild are known for their spaced-out, Soulquarians-inspired grooves and the wispy, at-ease vocals of Amber Navran. Their lush, understated sound and synthesis of electronic and organic instruments evolved over the course of several records, as they toured with big-name stars and established a healthy following of their own with albums like 2019’s critically praised Little Ghost and its 2022 follow-up, Starfruit.
The members of Moonchild met at the University of Southern California and started the band in 2011, the lineup consisting of vocalist Navran (also a clarinetist and saxophonist) and fellow multi-instrumentalists Max Bryk (keyboards, saxophone, clarinet) and Andris Mattson (keyboards, trumpet, flügelhorn). The group self-released their debut album, Be Free, in 2012, not long after forming. Moonchild subsequently joined the roster of the independent U.K. label Tru Thoughts, where they continued to refine their sound with Please Rewind (2015) and Voyager (2017), the latter of which added harp and other stringed instrumentation to their blissed-out compositions. They’ve opened for the likes of Stevie Wonder and Georgia Anne Muldrow and, true to their genre-crossing appeal, have been featured together on recordings headlined by Detroit musician Brandon Williams (“Leave Love Be”) and hip-hop producer Tall Black Guy (“I Will Never Know”). The band’s output has also been sampled, as heard on Mac Miller‘s “Two Matches.”
Outside Moonchild, Navran, Bryk, and Mattson have worked as both solo artists and collaborators. In 2018, the duo issued the single “Get to Know It” ahead of the arrival of the full-length Little Ghost, which was released in September 2019. A companion set of instrumentals from the album, aptly titled Little Ghost Instrumentals, appeared a month later. In 2021, the band started sharing new songs from their fifth LP, Starfruit, beginning with the laid-back and jazzy “Too Good,” and the record arrived in February 2022. This new tour follows the release of their WAVES album which dropped in February of 2025.
Regional Show Dates & Cities: Wednesday April 1, 7pm (New York), Friday April 3, 2026, 8pm (Philadelphia, PA), Saturday April 4, 6pm (Washington, DC), & Sunday April 5, 2026, 8pm (Richmond, VA).

Started in 1990 as a small gathering of friends behind the Museum of Science & Industry, the Chosen Few Picnic & House Music Festival is the world’s longest-running event dedicated to House Music. Nicknamed the “Woodstock of House Music” for its family-reunion vibe, the Picnic & Festival attracts more than 40,000 fans to Chicago’s Jackson Park each year, and counts among its supporters former United States President Barack Obama. 
About the Chosen Few DJs:
Founded in 1977 by Wayne Williams, the Chosen Few DJs is a music collective that was among the first wave of DJs and producers in Chicago who created what became known as House Music. Since 1990, the Chosen Few DJs – Williams, Jesse Saunders, Tony Hatchett, Alan King, Andre Hatchett, Terry Hunter, and Mike Dunn – along with childhood friend Kim Parham – have organized the Chosen Few Picnic & House Music Festival, drawing more than 40,000 fans each year. The collective hosts events in cities across the United States and perform at festivals around the globe, including Amsterdam Dance Event, Winter Music Conference, Tribe Tambor Cruise, and Suncébeat. They also produce hit music, from Terry Hunter’s and Wayne Williams’ GRAMMY-nominated “It’s Your World” by Jennifer Hudson and NAACP Image Award-winning production on “Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics” to Mike Dunn’s critically acclaimed, “My House from All Angles”, the smash “In The Beginning (There Was Jack)”, an update of the classic House track featuring Chuck Roberts and Monique Bingham, and Jesse Saunder’s 2019 Billboard chart-topping “Higher”.

THE NEW EDITION WAY TOUR 2026: Making USA tour stops in NY, NJ, Boston, Philly & the DC-DMV areas, New Edition performs on a lineup with Boyz II Men & Toni Braxton in February & March 2026.
The tour’s title, The New Edition Way, pays homage to the group’s unparalleled legacy as R&B pioneers and their recent street renaming in their hometown of Boston. New Edition is hailed as the ultimate supergroup, a collective whose structure birthed multiple superstars and set the blueprint for subsequent boy bands, from New Kids on the Block to K-pop sensations.
Collectively, the New Edition family—including Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD), and Johnny Gill—have amassed over 50 million albums sold and countless major awards.
The tour also celebrates the shared history between New Edition and Boyz II Men, the legendary vocal harmony group discovered by New Edition’s Michael Bivins. The two groups will share the stage for the first time, performing their combined catalog of timeless hits like “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love to You,” and New Edition’s own defining anthems.
Adding a layer of iconic excellence is seven-time GRAMMY winner Toni Braxton, whose sultry tone and 70 million records sold make her a defining voice of contemporary R&B.
Together, these artists have sold nearly 200 million albums, promising an unforgettable night of classic hits and enduring artistry.
Regional Show Dates & Cities: February 13, 8pm (Newark, NJ), February 14, 8pm (Baltimore, MD), February 15, 8pm (Boston, MA) + March 13, 8pm (Washington, DC), March 14, 8pm (Brooklyn, NY) & March 15, 2026 8pm (Philadelphia, PA),

Event Details
WINTER 2026 LIVE SERIES: The Birchmere Presents: Bilal on February 28, 2026. Bilal Sayeed Oliver is a truly independent artist. A singer, songwriter, and producer who has always been ahead of his time – the Grammy Award-winning artist blends jazz, afro-futurism, classic soul, alternative R&B, rock and classical in his vocals and music.
Bilal is known for his wide vocal range, an artist who works across multiple genres, and gives magnetic live performances. Interscope Records signed Bilal to a major label recording deal fresh out of college, after studying jazz composition and opera at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York. His debut album, 1st born second, showcased an artistic spectrum arching from the emotionally charged fan-favorite, “Soul Sista,” which peaked at No. 18 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, to the political viewpoints of “Fast Lane” and “Second Child”. Philip Bailey, of Earth Wind & Fire fame said Bilal is the rare singer who uses his voice like an instrument. 
Bilal quickly developed a sizable following at his live shows which were known for being emotional and electrifying. Though his nearly 25-year career has been met with trials and tribulations, it hasn’t stopped him from seeing immense success in the music world. Bilal received great acclaim from his peers, who noted his range and ability to sing in a freeform style, as well as his classically trained falsetto. The soulful feel of the album led critics and industry leaders to label Bilal as a “neo-soul” artist. Bilal’s expansion into different music directions and boundary pushing explorations proved he is so much more.
Playing jazz venues and recording more progressive soul music in the following years, Bilal released four albums to critical success. His unreleased but widely leaked second album Love for Sale found wide acclaim among critics and listeners. It featured collaborations with Dr. Dre and J Dilla and was built around Bilal’s own musicianship, including live instrumentation. It had a vibe completely new and different from its predecessor. Interscope shelved the album indefinitely. It still received over half a million downloads and Bilal began touring even though there was no proper release of the album. He did not sign with another label for almost 10 years. During that time he performed live shows to continually increasing size audiences, contributed to the projects of other artists and created works on independent labels so as to maintain and grow from his creative vision.
As a member of the Soulquarians, an experimental collective that was active from the late 1990s to early 2000s, Bilal has been a cultural and musical influence on a whole new generation of musicians and producers. His extensive list of collaborations include Kendrick Lamar, Common, Erykah Badu, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Guru, Kimbra, J Dilla, Robert Glasper, and The Roots.
Airtight’s Revenge, his experimental 2010 album, blends jazz, hip-hop, electronic, rock, soul, and blues into one raw, genuine collection of music. The album’s single, “Little One”, earned Bilal a 2011 Grammy Award nomination in the category of Best Urban/Alternative Performance. That year, he was also on the Roots’ Grammy-nominated album Undun (2011) and the Robert Glasper Experiment’s Grammy-winning Black Radio (2012).
With the release of his next album, A Love Surreal, Bilal achieved immediate commercial success. It debuted at No. 1 on iTunes’ R&B Chart. On Billboard, the album debuted at No. 17 on the Independent Albums Chart, No. 19 on the R&B Albums Chart, and No. 103 on the Billboard 200. The album received shining reviews, including an 8 of 10 from SPIN magazine, 4.5 out of 5 stars from Allmusic, and 4 of 4 stars from USA Today.
In August 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown, Bilal wrote and recorded his first EP, Voyage-19, over the course of three days and in collaboration with various musicians in remote experimental sessions, which were streamed live on YouTube. The resulting three-track EP was released digitally the following month, with revenues of its sale and accompanying donations given to the participating artists, many of whom had been struggling financially due to the pandemic.
Bilal splits his time between the US and Morocco, where he paints and writes music.
