Little Stranger returns with Joe Samba, Jarv & Damn Skippy to Buffalo Iron Works on Wednesday October 9th, 2024! Little Stranger Born and raised in Philly, crash landed in Charleston, Kevin and John Shields are breaking into previously uncharted waters with their quirky indie hip-hop group, Little Stranger. Between John’s melodic singer-songwriter magnetism, Kevin’s in-your-face delivery, and an overall undeniable groove, this duo is sure to get any audience up and moving. Stylistically reminiscent of Gorillaz and Odelay-era Beck, Little Stranger delivers a fresh take on melodic hip-hop. Every track brings the uniqueness and strangeness that their name implies. For the past few years, the duo has perfected their live performance by playing over 100 shows per year prior to the coronavirus shutdown. The group also puts a big focus on creating arresting visual experiences through their music videos, their own eccentric television program (LSTV), and in-house graphics. Between their out-of-the-box creative endeavors and an ever-increasing arsenal of new tunes, Little Stranger is poised to make 2023 another slam dunk. JOE SAMBA Guitar slung low, microphone turned up, and emotion overflowing, Joe Samba taps into rock ‘n’ roll spirit and reggae soul all at once. The Massachusetts-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist sonically teeters on an axis of island-inflected grooves and gritty guitar-craft balanced by his dynamic vocals. He finds the sweet spot between smoked-out Caribbean bliss and sweat-soaked punkified energy. It’s why he’s quietly emerged as a phenomenon, toppling charts at #1 and performing alongside everyone from The Dirty Heads to Pepper. However, he’s primed to unite not only genres, but people as well through a series of 2023 releases and much more to come. “No matter what walk of life you’re from, I’d love for you to hear the conviction in my music,” he notes. “I hope you think, ‘This dude meant it’. Maybe you relate to what I’m singing about or just cut loose for a little bit. I just write songs and try to connect with people.” JARV Brooklyn-based MC / Producer / Mediocre Skateboarder, Jarv (AKA Nathan Jarvis) was born September 24, 1993. Growing up in Windsor, VT as the youngest of three, Jarv developed a love of music (especially Hip-Hop) at a very young age. He started making music in 2009 and put out his first official release "Jarvage Vol.1" in 2016. He has since released four full-length projects and has toured with the likes of RA The Rugged Man, Masta Ace, Little Stranger, Mr. Lif & Akrobatik, Sadat X, Spose, The Palmer Squares and so on. Some influences include; Edan, Slick Rick, Q-Tip, Big L, Prince Paul, Del The Funky Homosapien, Wu-Tang, Madlib, Chip-Fu, Beck, De La Soul, Slug, J Dilla, Easy Mo Bee, etc..
