Grammy winner Stephen Lee Bruner, aka, Thundercat—one of the biggest names in the music scene today—is coming to St. Petersburg’s Jannus Live on Wednesday, Oct. 27. And we’re fucking stoked.
I first heard of Thundercat when he geniusly brought in yacht rock gods Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald to work with him on the soulful “Show You the Way.”
Technically in the “Progressive R&B” category, at in the eyes the Grammy committee, Bruner just won a gold gramophone in that category for his album It Is What It Is.
This is the first time Bruner plays the Bay area, after a canceled Ybor City show led one CL staffer to chase him down to Orlando in 2017.
Rapper and singer Channel Tres is opening the Wednesday night show. Can we also hope for a little Michael McDonald cameo? It seems to happen at festivals quite a bit.
