I had the pleasure of going to the Future X Sounds concert at World Cafe Live on October 4th. With acts like Lalah Hathway and Talib Kweli headlining the series in Los Angeles and New York, the Philadelphia concert was headlined by James Poyser of the Roots, who had a jam session with some of the best musicians in Philadelphia such as George “Spanky Mccurdy, Mononeon and Jaleel Shaw.
The first performance was by Killiam Shakespeare, an eclectic music collective led by Stevie Mckie and Corey Bernard, who performed two musical pieces full of thought and suspense. The songs were in different keys, pitches and always ended on a high note.
