RAS Day Fest w/ PJ Morton, Raul Midon, Riders Against the Storm, Jackie Venson
Curated by husband/wife hip-hop duo Riders Against the Storm, RAS Day had initially planned to expand to two days in its fourth year, but now distills into a single night a DIY endeavor that’s rightfully earned comparisons to Brooklyn’s Afropunk Festival. The stacked bill features NOLA R&B keyboard wiz PJ Morton (Maroon 5), blind and brilliant New Mexico song shaman Raul Midón, Arizonan funk bass goddess Nik West, and local blues siren Jackie Venson, who Gary Clark Jr. hand-picked as a tour opener.
