Jake Sherman and BIGYUKI (Masayuki Hirano) will each play a set of music for you in a casual, laid-back way in the Race Brook Lodge Sun Room. A perfect evening paired with a delicious meal  at the Stagecoach Tavern.  

Japanese keyboardist and songwriter Masayuki Hirano is referred to in the industry as “NYC’s secret weapon.” He’s the musical equivalent of a savant linguist with a talent for all the vernaculars. Wild juxtapositions inhabit BIGYUKI’s performances: heavy beats laced with classical flourishes; techy low-end bleeps expressed through a heart-shaped sieve. Best known for composing three cuts on A Tribe Called Quest’s most recent album and recently found on tour with Kamasi Washington, Masayuki is a heavily sought-after performer and composer with an infectious and beautifully weird palette of music.

With a combination of pop sensibilities, intricate harmonies, and direct yet poignant lyrics, Jake Sherman's sound continues to evolve into a world uniquely his own, taking shape from the chrysalis of a jazz organist and spanning outwards to the stars. Some collaborations of note: Jake was the writer and pianist on Rosalía’s GRAMMY-winning Hentai; organist on Meshell Ndegeocello’s album No More Water. He has also joined forces with Nick Hakim, Bilal, Andrew Bird, and Blood Orange to name a few. Here's a clip with Cory Henry.

This event is part of a whole weekend of music — the weekend pass is for sale here. Or you can purchase tickets separately for Friday Night, and for Saturday Night.
