We're sorry, but we couldn’t find any events. Try updating your location and date range, or use more general keywords.
Celestial, soulful, and subtly subversive, Moses Sumney makes dreamlike folk-soul that slow-dances with death and makes heartbreak sound holy. Raised in California and Ghana, counting Sufjan and Solange as fans before he’d even released his acclaimed debut EP, and with strands of Anohni and Billie Holiday in his musical DNA, Sumney writes songs that sound like they grew out of cracks in an LA sidewalk: natural, surprising, elegant, perfectly formed.
Armed with just a guitar, a loop pedal and an otherworldly voice, his performances come together one luminous layer at a time. He’ll tell you, tongue in cheek, that his songs are older than time, and you’ll believe him. You’ll want to laugh, you’ll want to dance, and you might forget to breathe..

This was one of the coolest shows I've been to in LA. Moses was amazing and inspiring and the venue was absolutely perfect for the occasion. I've only been to one other show in a church and this was truly a unique experience. I really hope more shows happen here!
This was the best show I have ever seen. The church's acoustic were unbelievable and Moses used it to his full advantage, even singing without a mic walking down the center aisle.
Absolutely magical. An incredible experience. He was amazing and the venue was perfect.
