Uptown Nights Festival: When We Are Heard – James Brandon Lewis Trio
In recasting the immigrant as the modern-day cowboy and cowgirl, musical alchemist Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East sources inspiration from the scores of Bollywood classics and Spaghetti Westerns, Punjabi folk traditions, jazz improvisation, and rollicking psychedelic styles. Twangy, jubilant, and raucous, Wild Wild East’s restlessness celebrates multifaceted identities and global interconnectedness—the new cowboy soul of America. The evening culminates in a DJ Dance Party.
