With an astonishing two decades of music together Thievery Corporation brings their unique sound to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater Wednesday, November 5th / 8PM. Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe opens the show. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 28th / 10AM.
Few musical artists are as diverse as Thievery Corporation, moving from space rock, hip-hop, Indian trip-hop, dub, French torch songs, and shoe-gazer blissfulness with remarkable cohesive ease. Boundaries and following trends have never been part of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton’s agenda. Explains Garza: “We’ve never been concerned with fitting into the ‘music industry. We started making music in the liquor room of DC’s Eighteenth Street Lounge with random bits of music gear among boxes of spirits. Approaching our music as a production duo has allowed us to never feel limited to one particular sound and traverse many fascinating musical landscapes.” Longtime fans of Thievery Corporation are keenly aware that the duo has been heavily influenced by Jamaican music. “The innovation, spirit and power of Jamaican music is a constant source of creative manna for us,” explains Hilton. “On the musical map, Jamaica is an entire continent. We could have spent a year there, soaking up the vibes in the air, and constantly being inspired by the strength and resilience of the people.” To say it all Thievery Corporation has and continues to do it all their way!
Singer and saxophonist Karl Denson fronts the Tiny Universe as if he’s preaching the gospel. His energy and spirit are contagious while his songwriting serves a larger message of fellowship—across generations, genders, religions and cultures. Highly regarded as one of the best live acts on the planet, KDTU distills the sweeping stylistic range of its concert performances into their own authentic sound featuringDenson and his long-standing seven piece unit.
