June 21st - Day 3 Secret Sidewalk
Founded in 2010, Secret Sidewalk is comprised of Bay Area natives from a variety of musical backgrounds, yielding a distinctive sound that echoes Bay Area hip-hop, jazz, and psychedelic undertones. The group features unorthodox instrumentation: saxophone, turntables, synthesizers, and drums, all modulated live with effects to create a sound that is both lush and gritty.
The sophomore release of the band’s imprint, Primal Dap Sound, picks up the thread left by their inaugural release, “Primal Dap”.
“Sutro Sound Bath” features the group’s continued experimentation with chance and sonic textures, deftly adapted to the unique circumstances of the current times.
