6 p.m. – Chen Lo and the Liberation Family The distinctive sound of this dynamic collective draws from historic and contemporary events, simple elements of life, and a myriad of musical influences such as hip hop, jazz, blues, kwaito, soul, rock & roll, R&B, afro-beat, and pop. Chen Lo and Ken White combined forces in 2007 to create a hip hop ensemble that maintains the genre’s core ingredients, while incorporating the texture of live instrumentation. They have performed with Last Poets and CL Smooth and at Crash Mansion, CMJ Music Festival, and on MTV.
7:15p.m. – Little Joe McLerran Quartet drawn from the ranks of Tulsa’s finest, who came together specifically for The Rhythm Road, this ensemble brings blues to life through the study and performance of this unique American roots genre. In its unique approach, this ensemble presents blues and American roots as a soup recipe which has been stirred, mixed, handed down, and revised by generations of people who brought their music from all over the world to America.
