This Sunday, the Jefferson Theater will host Julien Baker, a songwriter of remarkable candor, skill and poignancy. Baker broke out in 2015 with the LP “Sprained Ankle” — a set of songs she wrote largely while still living in a dorm room at Middle Tennessee State University — which stunned critics with its arresting beauty and striking sharpness. Baker sings of hope and hopelessness and of trust and doubt in both herself and her Christian faith. She is a queer Southerner in the Trump era — an identity in need of visibility today more than ever.

Along with their cohorts of the Los Angeles-based R&B record label Soulection, Booker and Smino are babyfaced rap cats pursuing the refinement of what Soulection calls the “sound of tomorrow.” This sound is characterized by billowing keys as well as sleek, precise drum design and is influenced in equal measure by gospel, ‘90’s R&B, Dilla swing and trap.

Thundercat may be one of the world’s greatest bass players, a singular voice at the forefront of the modern jazz movement and one of the primary colors Kendrick Lamar used when crafting his opus “To Pimp a Butterfly,” but before all of these things he is a pure neckbeard.
