The Truman

Renowned for her richly personalized, effortless style of hook-rich songcraft, Clara La San is a producer, songwriter, composer and singer who has developed a resounding reputation for writing and arranging songs that feel instantly familiar and timeless, with a distinctly fresh appeal. The 2023 self-release of her single In This Darkness earned her solo sound hundreds of millions of plays across DSPs, pinpointing her status among the in-demand prized songwriters of her generation, with diverse collaborations with artists like The Kid Laroi, BNYX, Bicep, and Bryson Tiller to name a few. With close to a billion global career streams and 2.5M+ per day across her catalog, multiple instantly sold-out headline shows, and a growing community of fervent fans, Clara La San is quickly becoming one of the most exciting and magnetic artists shaping the sound of modern R&amp;B.
In June of 2024, after years of building underground acclaim and fan anticipation, Clara released her highly anticipated debut album Made Mistakes to praise from The FADER, Office, Paper Mag, Nylon, and more. In December 2024, she officially re-released her celebrated 2017 mixtape, Good Mourning — a reimagined version of the original including updated vocals, a fresh mix by Geoff Swan (Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, HAIM, Florence And The Machine), and a new track and video “Enemy,” produced by her longtime collaborator Jam City — marking a significant moment in her artistic evolution sharing the mixtape as she always intended it to be heard and seen. In 2025, the standout track “Feel Good” from Good Mourning made the TikTok Top 50 chart and has over 75 million streams across platforms.
While her music is steeped in a holistic listening of myriad musical strands—from early aughts R&amp;B to contemporary rap instrumentals—Clara La San braids her influences with inspirations from cinema scores and up-to-the-second sound design to express a singular style of electro-soul and pop. Her palpable style is matched by a rare ability to conceive top-line vocal melodies, layered with lush harmonies that instantly imprint on the memory and have kept her growing, devoted fan base, including many other artists and peers, returning for more.
Clara La San's is a remarkable story of biding one’s time, trusting instincts, and never forcing oneself to “play the game”. Her strategy, like her music, is a rare example of swerving tricks or stunts in favour of allowing flavours to enrich and come to fruition in their own time. The result is an artist and sound whose music resonates and gratifies timeless needs and feelings, whilst entirely emblematic of her generation.
“La San has opened up a new world within her sound with gorgeous details that reveal themselves on multiple listens and huge, cinema-sized emotions.” - FADER
“Clara La San’s sound is singular. Her voice is effortless, slippery. Her lyrics have the unique quality of being disarmingly direct, moving between the confessional and meditative.” - PAPER
“The slickest noughties R&amp;B beat and Aaliyah-esque melodies we’ve heard in a minute.” - NYLON
“She weaves observations on daily life into a sonic tapestry of synths, 90's trip-hop, and experimental R&amp;B” - OFFICE

Since the early 1900s, Chinese artists have engaged in a dialogue between tradition and modernity, with shanshui (mountains and water, “landscape”) at its center. While some artists have embraced China’s defining artistic tradition since the 9th century, others have reinterpreted or even challenged the legacy.
Today, contemporary Chinese art flourishes on the global stage, yet the negotiation between tradition and modernity remains vital. Many artists continue to redefine the shanshui tradition beyond its historical boundaries. Working across cultures, geographies, and media, they express personal artistic visions while engaging wide audiences.
This exhibition presents contemporary Chinese art from the 1960s onward, a pivotal period in the development of the modernist ink painting movement. Featuring the work of 14 artists spanning several generations, the exhibition includes many recent acquisitions.
Organized by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Generous support provided by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
This is a Weekly Recurring EventRuns from Nov 14, 2026 to May 16, 2027 and happens every:

Local Event: Candlelight: 90s Hip-Hop on Strings

Candlelight: 90s Hip-Hop on Strings

almost monday is the definition of a California state of mind. For the band, it all started in a San Diego surf shop, where three friends—Dawson Daugherty (vocals), Cole Clisby (guitar) and Luke Fabry (bass)—began shaping a sound that feels coastal without feeling cliché. Their early breakout “broken people” quietly snowballed into wider attention, earning a Sofi Tukker remix and setting the stage for a run of alternative radio momentum with the release of “sun keeps on shining” and culminating in a Billboard Alternative Airplay #1 with “can’t slow down.” As the band’s cultural footprint continues to grow, their music has become a fixture across lifestyle and sports, racking up 50+ syncs spanning everything from ESPN and MLB broadcasts to March Madness, and the Vans US Open. The band kicked off the year with “leaving is easy,” an emotionally resonant track reflecting their continued growth as songwriters, followed by “no more regrets,” an upbeat track built for connection and movement and most recently “skinny dip,” which captures fleeting, youthful connection with a subtle emotional edge. The momentum continued with a 2026 iHeart Music Awards nomination for Best New Alternative Artist. The band recently performed at BottleRock in May and are currently on tour with Young the Giant and Cold War Kids, with the run wrapping June 27 in Nashville. Onstage, almost monday have built a reputation for high-voltage performances and a kinetic, sun-soaked energy. The band has appeared at major festivals including Lollapalooza, BottleRock, Life is Beautiful, as well as iHeartRadio’s 98.7 ALTer EGO. They’ve opened arenas for AJR, toured globally with The Driver Era and The Band CAMINO, sold-out their own headline tour across the U.S., UK, and Europe. In 2024, they released their debut album DIVE, a kaleidoscopic coming of age record blending hooks, radiance, and sun drenched world building, brought to life visually by artist Dave Bowers. With over 1.5 billion streams, a late-night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, collaborations including Jordana on “jupiter,” and work with producers behind OneRepublic and The Killers, the band continues to blur the lines between alt-pop immediacy and indie-rock intent—music that feels effortless, kinetic, and built for motion. From surf shops to global stages, almost monday is defining their era with style and swagger. Their music doesn’t just soundtrack a summer — it creates one: sun soaked, uplifting, and impossible not to dance to.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/159485/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Creativity is like a fire in a fireplace: You have to tend it or it will go out. For nearly two decades, Matisyahu has kept his creative spirit aflame by evolving his sound, melding genres, and testing the limits of the musical traditions that have inspired him. His latest release, Hold The Fire, and its leadoff single “Fireproof” takes inspiration from a fire dream inspired by Matisyahu's Old Testament religion, which has meant so much to his spiritual and creative life since his recording career began in 2004 and his breakout track "King Without a Crown" blasted into the Billboard charts in 2005. In a roundabout way, those same Old Testament roots springboarded Matisyahu's music career. Growing up outside New York City, the young Matthew Miller followed jam bands like Phish and the Grateful Dead. Then, in Bob Marley and reggae, he found that the messaging of Rastafarianism was sourced in part from that same Old Testament. The sound that emerged on his first albums—including his first two studio releases as well as 2005's Gold-certified Live at Stubb's—embraced both the spirit of reggae and his spirituality and roots in Judaism. Buoyed by hits like "King Without a Crown," albums like the Grammy-nominated and Billboard No.1-ranked Youth in 2006, and the Gold-certified 2009 antiwar hit "One Day" (streamed over 150 million times on Spotify alone), he toured extensively through the second half of the aughts with a high-energy stage show that has since grown to include more improvisation. All the while his music expanded into a shapeshifting collision of reggae, hip-hop, alt rock and boldly inventive pop. Today, he continues to be inspired by evolving musical trends, finding linkages and loops between eras and genres. Matisyahu's spirituality has evolved in parallel with his music, though his Jewish heritage remains a central theme throughout his life and music. The new EP, Hold The Fire (out February 2024), also finds him reflecting on celebrity and artistic success. For Matisyahu, “the unbelievable and miraculous feeling of being connected to our people” is what keeps the creative fire alight.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/164224/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
