Phantom Fears – cRUSHin’ MN with Jail Break!

Arthur “L.A.” Buckner is a performing musician, teaching artist, and producer from the Northside of Minneapolis. He holds a Master's degree in Percussion Performance from McNally Smith College of Music, and is an accomplished teaching artist in the Twin Cities. Currently, LA serves as co-host for the award winning PBS music education YouTube series “Sound Field”, and is a professor of Race & Identity at the University of Minnesota. In 2020, LA took iTunes by storm with the release of his project BiG HOMiE, which reached the #1 Jazz position within 24 hours of its release. LA was named 2024 Music Educator of the Year by the Minnesota Music Education Association. Get ready to experience a historic blend of jazz, Gospel, hip hop and avant-funk. Hitting the drums like they owe him money, LA is a flurry of arms and drumsticks whose compositions blur the line between Sunday church service and face melting jam sessions. His artistry is full of energy, excitement, and culture. What to expect: It’s a jazz and funk jam featuring a brand-new combo “The Homework House Band”. L.A. Buckner on drums, Omar Abdulkarim on Trumpet/Flugelhorn, Ethan Yeshaya on Bass, and Kevin Gamble on keyboards. The jam will include special guests sitting in on vocals, horns and other instruments. This is NOT an open mic! You GOTTA be great to sit in! There will also be activities/games for the audience to participate in. We are resetting the standard of greatness that this city is known for. Women, femmes, and non-binary friends are welcome. Arthur "L.A." Buckner
