Son of a preacher man, singer-songwriter, and ANTI- recording artist Son Little, a.k.a. Aaron Livingston, had already gained respect in Philly and collaborated with the likes of local mega stars The Roots and RJD2. And on his latest self-titled album, the boy has become a man, humbly yet confidently coming out from the shadows into the spotlight. With powerful, intoxicating vocals, Livingston gathers a lifetime of influences, sculpting tunes that can be felt deep in the chest and way down in the gut. The love for gospel, soul, blues, and R&B is alive and well in Philly. You can feel it this evening when Son Little takes the stage at Johnny Brenda’s where he’ll be joined by Brooklyn’s Xenia Rubinos. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Front St., 9pm, $12, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
