While E.J. Worland is originally from Australia, his sound and soul is firmly planted in the roots of American vintage rhythm & blues, soul and the timeless grooves of Bill Withers, Sam Cooke, and Marvin Gaye. His music takes no prisoners, pouring out emotions and feelings through sonic transmissions that take the listener on a raw, intimate journey filled with emotion, provocation, and personal agency. Worland’s voice may not sound “Australian” to most listeners, and therein lies the magic, as his strength and tenderness breaks boundaries and crosses oceans, reverberating on a level that transcends the tides of time. With style, swagger, and a humble sensibility, Worland’s music takes charge, grabs your heart, and drives you through a vibrant landscape filled with foot-stomping drums, heavenly hand-claps, and innovative intonations. For his latest body of work Worland goes all in, recording a collection of powerful tracks that wait for no one’s agenda, giving the listener an intimate look at his musical awakening over the last few years – from his years touring with bands in Australia to his own personal journey into the sun-kissed streets of Los Angeles. Call it purpose. Call it release. Call it enlightened soul. Call it anything you want, but the sound of E.J.Worland is an experience you won’t be able to shake. Presented by Gold-Diggers. This is a 21+ event. (ID Required)
