THE BIG SHOW featuring Adrian Younge presented by Jazz is Dead

THE BIG SHOW is coming to Northeast! For the first time ever, Indeed Brewing is turning the Big Lot on 14th and Quincy into a totally unique concert venue the likes of which Minneapolis has never seen.
On August 1st, hitting the stage will be LA-based culture-bearer and composer Adrian Younge: presented by Jazz Is Dead, for an immersive set blending cosmic soul, hypnotic jazz, and psychedelia.
Jazz is Dead is an analog-forward collective of culture bearers based in Los Angeles with a mission to keep the innovative, rebellious spirit of jazz alive. As they have put it, Jazz is Dead is “not a farewell, but a rallying cry.” Founded in 2017 by Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest), Andrew Lojero, and Adam Block, Jazz is Dead has produced records and put on shows with jazz legends such as Roy Ayers, Ebo Taylor, Marcos Valle, Nate Smith, Azymuth, and many more. Over the last decade, they have gained a large online following and more recently become a leading voice in the international movement against AI-generated music.
For this show, one of Jazz is Dead’s founders, Adrian Younge, unveils a new five-piece live ensemble that blurs the line between cosmic soul, hypnotic jazz, and psychedelia—an immersive experience driven by raw drum breaks, fuzz-drenched guitars, rare analog synthesizers, and mood-forward vocals. The new experience unfolds with dangerous momentum, a menacing late-night vision led by Younge alongside soul singer Loren Oden, featuring music from across Younge’s catalog alongside material from his new album, Younge.
Minneapolis’ own, Aby Wolf and Kavyesh Kaviraj, will open, joined by the Laurels String Quartet. This project is a rare reunion of some of the most impressive musical minds in the city that, when brought together, deliver a strikingly beautiful performance blending jazz, classical, and something otherworldly.
