- **Event Name**: Local Artist Series: Ruby & The Evolutionists
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 18 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: “The Evolutionists represent something rare in the local scene—continuity. This project  harks back to the golden age of hip hop, weaving the familiar sounds of soul and R&amp;B  into a contemporary soundscape.” — New Hampshire Magazine  

The Evolutionists fuse classic soul samples into an original, fresh mix of Hip Hop and  R&amp;B. Fronted by New England Music Award winners Ruby Shabazz and Fee the  Evolutionist, the group is backed by a powerhouse ensemble of the region's most  accomplished jazz and funk instrumentalists. 

Ruby’s soulful vocals evoke the classic R&amp;B legends of the past, while Fee delivers a  unique flow reminiscent of golden-era emcees. Together with their world-class rhythm  section, they create a high-energy groove that keeps the crowd rocking.
