Blaque Dynamite ~ Corey Bernhard’s Eternity Ensemble
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 8:00 PM Blaque DynamiteBlaque Dynamite, a.k.a. Mike Mitchell, has given validity to the cliche that age is nothing more than a number. He began drumming at age 2, played in his first live recording session at the ripe young age of 7, and had acquired a roster of drum company endorsements by the time he turned 11 years old. Young Dynamite gained his early development and exposure to music in a church setting. At an early age, he began to create his own music which in turn fueled his relentless passion and respect for the drums. Inevitably, he had become very interested in the pursuit of expanding his knowledge of music and honing his craft. At twelve, he embarked upon the study of music theory. At fourteen, he found himself in the hallways of the renowned Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas in 2009. The school also fostered the amazing talents of Norah Jones, Erykah Badu, and the late Roy Hargrove. Simultaneously, Dynamite took full advantage of attending workshops, master classes, and clinics at colleges and universities all over the country during the summer breaks between tours. Being gifted to play all genres, Dynamite has been the recipient of a host of accolades and prestigious awards. He has received 14 DownBeat Music Awards and his impressive performance credits include Grammy award-winning artists Christian McBride, Erykah Badu, Thundercat, Michael McDonald, Bob Mintzer, Chrisette Michele, Kamasi Washington, and the legendary Clark Sisters. In 2012, he was selected to perform on a global stage at the inaugural International Jazz Day Celebration with one of the most influential artist of all time, the iconic Herbie Hancock. Shortly after, Dynamite was reigning the drum throne for the living legend, virtuoso bassist, composer, Stanley Clarke. Then, he graduated high school! (Class of 2013) Fast forwarding, the Grammy nominated artist Blaque Dynamite has toured five of the seven continents of the world. In 2015, he released his debut album entitled “WiFi” with Dallas-bred band, Raché. His collaborations with artists such as Christian Scott, Derrick Hodge, Doobie Powell, Kierra Sheard, Willow Smith, Talib Kweli, and Jon Bap have been the catalyst in the making of a new band leader. On April 10th, 2020, Blaque Dynamite released his third album, “Time Out” on Dolfin Records, an independent record label out of Dallas. Corey Bernhard’s Eternity EnsembleFrom touring with superstar jam fusion group Snarky Puppy or hip-hop icons Pusha T and Talib Kweli, to backing up Ed Sheeran on SNL or playing duo with Ariana Grande live on MTV, to playing experimental sets with members of The War on Drugs, to writing and producing with Philadelphia legends Bilal and DJ Jazzy Jeff, it’s hard to fathom how Corey Bernhard has time to show up at his day job as keyboardist on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. One thing is certain: Bernhard is one of his generation’s most dynamic (and busiest) musicians. Hailed by Okayplayer as a “pillar of the Philadelphia music scene,” his solo debut Fool’s Pirouette was released in January 2022 and was featured on NPR’s notable new music playlist. Reviewing his pandemic era collaboration with friend and Philadelphia rapper The Bul Bey, SWTS (2020), WXPN raved that the duo “tackles big themes to a beautiful score.”

The three-part New York indie-rock band is ZOPA, “patience” in Tibetan.https://zopa.bandcamp.com/ Andorra“Soaked in Bud Light and regret,” Andorra is Kevin McCall, Jordan Petrellis, Michael Trycieckyj, and Dante DiLoreto. The band formed in 2010 in Philadelphia, PA and named themselves after the respective city suburb (not the country.) Philly Live writes “The album, Family Tree exists within a boundary-less space of heavy rock and basement blues. All songs on the full album are explorative, yet relate to each other in different ways, fully emphasizing that familial theme.” 2024’s Boogie Night Blues captures the band’s live energy. “This one is raw, punchy, and will make you want to dance. It’s Grease-flavored, revved up Rocky Horror Picture Show energy. Boogie Night Blues proves Andorra’s chemistry as a live act and commitment to rock and roll, making it their best record yet.” – Tyler Asay linktr.ee/andorramusic
