Indie-pop artist Rahill performs at the WJCT Soundstage as part of the the Jacksonville Music Experience’s Soundstage Series with support from local artists Sun Child and K.UTIE on Friday, February 21. The project of Iranian-American interdisciplinary artist Rahill Jamalifard (a founding member of popular New York City garage-rock band Habibi), Rahill’s debut 2023 full length, Flowers at Your Feet (which features production assistance from Beck) earned a Best New Release nod from NPR Music and Best New Album from Bandcamp. Rahill is recommended if you like enjoyable, avant-garde pop by artists like Beck, Cate Le Bon and Clairo.
Opening the show are Jacksonville artists Sun Child and K.UTIE. The indie-folk ensemble led by singer-songwriter Brooke Garwood, Sun Child’s 2024 single “Waves” — the title track from the group’s debut full length — made JME’s list of the best local songs of the year. Read more about Sun Child here. Jax R&B/soul artist K.UTIE also made JME’s list of best local songs of 2024. After a busy 2023 in which she released a solo album and a debut EP with Bright Purple – her soulful pop project with Jeremy Ryan – K.UTIE remained productive in 2024, dropping a half-dozen singles, including the anthemic emo-rock-leaning “All The Pretty Girls,” one of the catchiest tunes in the the singer-songwriter and violinist’s increasingly expansive catalog.

About the Soundstage Series: At the Jacksonville Music Experience (JME), we believe in the power of music to connect and inspire. And, beginning in February, JME and WJCT Public Media will pair internationally-acclaimed artists with local and regional acts for the JME Soundstage Series, a season of concerts aimed at building community through music discovery. The series features headliners Shannon and the Clams, Rahill, Levitation Room and Ghost Funk Orchestra. In addition to internationally-acclaimed headliners, each JME Soundstage Series concert will introduce audiences to emerging local and regional acts. Held at the WJCT Soundstage in Downtown Jacksonville, each community-focussed event will feature a local vendor market, food trucks and more.
Tickets and Pricing: As part of our mission to build community through music discovery and introduce audiences to artists from around the world – including those making music in the Jacksonville area – ticket prices for each show will be significantly less than market value, and ticket buyers will also have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the entire series at a discounted rate. Tickets for individual shows are $25. Tickets for the entire series (four shows) are priced at $80.
