Big Ears 2019 Preview


Now that we’re in Knoxville, TN and Big Ears 2019 is about to start, its time for us to look into what’s in store! We got a playlist with music by more than 20 artists performing at BE this year, so dive in!

This one features Shane Parish, Alien Flower Sutra, Altered Statesman, Amirtha Kidambi Elder Ones, Bl_ank, Coupler, Dark Inside the Sun, Ian Chang, Joep Beving, Tim Story, Sons of Kemet and many more!
We also highly recommend everyone to visit our friend and colleague Immune to Boredom. His excellent Ears Embiggened series currently features 5 posts on BE2019 – Icons, So Much Guitar, Rhiannon Giddens – Great Black Music, Redux, 50 Years of Great Black Music: Ancient to the Future and 50 Years of ECM.
