The Truman

Some songs have the strength to turn every human into a hero, with lyrics so bright-eyed and melodies so universal they lift a crowd of sweaty clubbers into a stadium’s worth of energy.
These are songs about togetherness and trials won by love, and these are the kind of songs The Midnight delivers on its fourth studio album Heroes; the final chapter in a trilogy of human life that started with 2018’s Kids and culminates in an international tour that sees the duo transformed into an electrifying five-piece band.
From its synth-heavy beginnings to arena rock chords and infectious pop hooks, The Midnight’s musical journey is one fueled by insatiable curiosity. The duo lives at the intersection of varying paths, driven by the frictional spark that fires when Southern-born singer-songwriter Tyler Lyle melts his all-American dreamer tales with Danish-bred drummer and producer Tim McEwan’s cinematic soundscapes.
Together, they form something deeper than just house, vibier than pop, and altogether more exciting than the sum of its parts.
“Tim comes from a different culture, different taste, different sort of musical firmament,” Lyle says, “and what we have in common is that we like good songs.”
Lyle got his start in the folk song traditions of the American south. Raised by a music minister and mobile home salesman, he cut his teeth as an entertainer leading the choir in a small town Methodist church. Dreaming big, he moved to Paris after high school and studied philosophy. When he returned to follow his musical passions in Atlanta, he found his folk sound gaining attention with major labels who sought him to write for stars in LA.
That’s how he first met McEwan, who was raised not in the bright lights of Hollywood but in Denmark. His own father is a drummer, both parents are actors and entertainers, and they supported McEwan’s musical passions, as did his country. A state-funded program helped the budding producer hone his skills. After graduating, he moved to London and had a hit on pirate radio, but it was years later in Copenhagen that he’d find success with the publishing team that brought him to the U.S.
Lyle and McEwan connected from the moment they first met in a Los Angeles studio. What was meant to be a session for others turned into pure creative spontaneity. The new friends stumbled onto a sound all their own, penning “We Move Forward” in a few hours time. The song became a favorite on The Midnight’s debut EP Days of Thunder, released in 2014.
Within that single’s euphoric rhythms and bittersweet synth lead are the seeds of The Midnight’s signature style. It’s powerful and hopeful, matched with Lyle’s romantic and philosophical observations of everyday feeling, a theme that continues on the intimate sonic portraits that Heroes paints.
A dramatic, nostalgic streak runs throughout their catalog, from the retro-futurism of debut LP Endless Summer through to the introspective musings of 2018’s Kids. That sound got bigger and brighter as The Midnight dug into even deeper emotional depths on 2020’s Monsters, finding more confidence in their songwriting. The pair was even tapped to score for a major motion picture, and although the project did not come to fruition, it further proves the band’s decidedly theatrical energy.
Through the years, the band’s sound and presentation continues to evolve, as influenced by the live performance and connection with the audience as by the internal need to grow.
“As a creative process, it's always a ‘what feels new and fresh to me?’” McEwan says. “That's the challenge, right? Or at least for me, how my process is. It has to feel fresh yet familiar for it to feel exciting to feel creatively fulfilling.”
McEwan’s sonic tinkering is further pushed by Lyle’s lyrical explorations of self and situation. Faced with the birth of his first child, Lyle became fascinated with the development of ego and psyche, setting forth on the ambitious aim of a conceptual three-part album epic.
“I got into depth psychology and this idea of etiology, the way a human forms,” Lyle says. “The world doesn't get better but we do. We grow into ourselves. We grow into our voice … For me, Kids is self-knowledge, Monsters is self love, and then Heroes is empathy.”
Written during the isolation of COVID quarantine, Heroes faces the feeling of being alone by inviting the whole world to dance under one roof. It’s an album that celebrates the connected nature of man, the way we overcome loss by coming together under one sky and howling at the moon; drinking, hugging, laughing and singing songs at the top of our lungs.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/125832/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

The Truman 601 East Truman Road Kansas City, MO 64106

Brenn! has everything he needs at home in Tuscaloosa. Surrounded by rolling green acres, thriving farm life, and a vibrant Southern history, the Western Alabama city serves as the undeniable backbone of the young star’s cathartic, jangling folk-pop. Though barely out of his teens, the old soul born Brennan Keller possesses an uncanny knack for blending classic folk storytelling with modern pop hooks and shout-along choruses. His music evokes the intimacy of artists like The Lumineers while maintaining a sound entirely his own, capturing fans around the world with wistful melodies, passionate delivery, and soul-excavating lyrics that intimately explore coming-of-age themes such as lost love, heartache, and finding strength in faith.
Brenn! has sparked a growing fervor on streaming platforms (amassing more than 164 million global plays) and built a dedicated TikTok fandom of more than 400,000 fans who turn up for his rough-hewn charm and obvious talent, his road to success has had a pothole or two. Before putting out his deeply personal and expansive 2024 debut EP County Line, Brenn! released “4runner,” a heart wrenching track about long-distance love that builds from a quiet strum to an all-out sprint, carrying Brenn! into Billboard’s Top 50 for the first time and onto 23 global charts, and garnering 1.4 million weekly Spotify streams. With sold-out shows and festival appearances like Lollapalooza and Hangout Fest, Brenn! continues to captivate audiences and solidify his place as one of today’s most compelling artists.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/135824/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Purity Ring kindly requests that you wear a respirator (N95 or KN95) for the duration of the show. There will be free high-filtration masks at the door for those who don’t have them. We want our shows to be a place where we take care of each other. wearing a high-filtration mask is an act of material care and a show of solidarity with disabled and immunocompromised people. It's a small thing we can do to keep each other safe.
Purity Ring has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to support The Black Trans Prayer Book, and their work to celebrate and uplift Black Trans &amp; Non-Binary people.
 About the artist: Purity Ring’s self-titled fourth album marks the beginning of a bold new era, the duo have crafted a concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG. Inspired by games like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X, the record tells the story of two hapless characters — embodiments of Megan James and Corin Roddick— on a journey to build a kinder world amid the ruins of a broken one. Roddick reaches into his deepest musical memories to sculpt euphoric, otherworldly soundscapes of vintage digital synths, classical guitar, pan flutes, breakbeats, and haunted vocoders. Along with her unmistakable sound, James has unlocked an arsenal of vocal deliveries and a joyous, dizzying stream of consciousness in her words. Here with their first self-titled and self-released LP, Purity Ring steps fully into a dream they've been circling for years—one that feels vast, unrestrained, and true to who they’ve become. Since emerging in the early 2010s, James and Roddick have made a lasting impact on the electronic pop landscape, building a world all their own with immersive self-produced albums and groundbreaking visual live show experiences. Their debut Shrines (2012) earned Pitchfork’s Best New Music Honors and was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize, and breakout track “Fineshrine” is RIAA Gold-certified in the U.S. Over the years, they’ve collaborated with artists including Danny Brown, Deftones and Black Dresses<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/135825/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

About the Artist: To those in the know Arnez J. one of the hottest, most talked about comedic artists in the game. His raw energy, talent and comedic skill quickly landed Arnez the coveted hosting slot on BET’s longest-running comedy series “Comic View” for two seasons joining the ranks of hosts such as D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer. His hilarious new comedy special “Racially Motivated” is now available on Netflix. Arnez J.’s charisma and physical agility are unforgettable. “J is a whirling dervish on stage–he runs, jumps, spins, slides, slips, and mugs through a performance, acting out many of his bits while describing them,” wrote Doug Kaufman in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. On his own at age 14, Arnez lied about his age to get a job at a gas station to work his way through school. With dreams to become a professional baseball player, Arnez began working as a flight attendant when those baseball plans fell through. It was while working as a flight attendant that Arnez discovered his comedic talent. He realized that he had the ability to keep the passengers and crew laughing and, upon encouragement from friends, he made his first attempt at stand-up comedy. After that first night on stage, he knew what he wanted to do. He left his job with the airlines and made the decision to devote all of his time to a career in comedy. Arnez got a chance to combine his ambitions as both an athlete and performer when he was recruited by scouts for the famed Harlem Globetrotters basketball team who saw his very physical comedy routine at a local basketball game. However, after several months, a knee injury ended his Globetrotters career, finally clearing the way for him to devote himself full time to standup comedy. Arnez began working the comedy circuit in Georgia and quickly became one of “Hotlanta’s” funniest newcomers. A finalist in the “Bay Area Black Comedy Competition,” he made his first TV appearance on Showtime’s “Comedy Club Network.” Numerous TV appearances soon followed including appearances on “The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show,” “Louie Anderson’s Comedy Showcase,” Comedy Central’s “Make Me Laugh,” NBC’s “Friday Night Videos,” “The Mo’Nique Show”, Russell Simmons’ “Def Comedy Jam,” his own BET “Comic View Grandstand Hour Special,” and “Comedy Central Presents: Arnez J.” He was most recently seen headlining Showtime’s “Shaquille O’Neal Presents: All Star Comedy Jam.” Today, Arnez is widely considered one of the best working artists, with a polished and highly entertaining standup routine that keeps his audiences entertained.
