HEADLINING ARTIST: Bassel & the Supernaturals

Bassel & The Supernaturals tells the story of Bassel Almadani’s experience as a first generation Syrian-American using soulful melodies, funk inspired grooves, and captivating lyrics regarding love, loss, and the war in Syria. Deeply inspired by Otis Redding, Bassel uses the stage as a vehicle to engage audiences in over 100 different cities across North America. Upon returning from a service trip working with displaced Syrians in Istanbul in the Fall of 2019, Bassel released a new full-length album, “Smoke & Mirrors,” with his group in April 2020. Their single “Stepping Back in Time” reached over 300,000 streams after being featured on Spotify’s official ‘All Funked Up’ playlist.

OPENING ARTIST: Katara

Katara is an American songwriter and musician who performs original songs that she writes in both English and Mandarin Chinese. She has performed on a number of popular Chinese and Taiwanese television shows an won 2014’s “Most Loved by the Audience” award of FGM’s “Play and Sing” competition in Shenzhen.
