This Saturday marks the continuation of the Deli-sponsored Revolution series at the artist-led venue National Sawdust in Williamsburg. In honor of June being New York Music Month, the Mayor’s office will be funding all production costs, making this a free event! The 16th installment of the series will feature performances by Leala Cyr, Olu Bliss, and Miyachi.
Bilingual rapper Miyachi will be headlining the event, with tracks like “BAD & ブジ” (a Bad and Boujee remix, streaming below) and “Wangstyle” that delve into his experience of growing up as a biracial Asian American with an immigrant parent. Berklee College of Music grad Leala Cyr channels a different energy in her performances, honing in on her classical training for trumpet and jazz vocals. Positivity is key for Alt-Soul singer Olu Bliss, whose song “Norm Life” (streaming below) tackles serious issues while retaining the message that one must keep pushing forward. – Lilly Milman
