The Idan Raichel Project exploded onto the global music scene in 2003, changing the face of Israeli popular music and offering "an ambitious celebration of multicultural diversity...an ambient journey that thrillingly bridges the traditional and modern" (The Times, London). As creator and leader of the Project, Idan Raichel began his musical journey by collaborating with artists of multiple generations, ethnicities, and languages-from Hebrew, Spanish, and Arabic to Amharic and Swahili. The resulting albums shattered sales records in Israel, sold over half a million records worldwide, and catapulted Raichel to international stardom. The Project was honored as Israel's "Musical group of the Decade" in 2010, and the song "Mima'amakim" was named "Best Song of the Decade." With a spectacular blend of African, Latin American, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern sounds, the Project's live show has captivated audiences across the globe.

Everybody Get Up Tour: Fred Hammond and The United Tenors
Verizon Hall
Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 7:30pm
Ticket Price: $35 to $45

In a music business full of inflated egos, it's nothing short of a miracle to get four of the biggest names in their musical genres to collaborate on a project, but that's just what Fred Hammond, Dave Hollister, Eric Roberson, and Brian Courtney Wilson have done. The Grammy Award winning, platinum-selling urban contemporary Gospel pioneer; the R&B crooner who wailed on 2 Pac's classic 'Keep Ya Head Up' and as Blackstreet front man on 'Before I Let You Go'; the Grammy Award nominated Indie Soul King and the urban inspirational vocalist with the crisp rasp in his tone have united as the United Tenors. The result is a sound Hammond calls Urban Adult rhythm that revisits '70s soul music without an iota of nostalgia. They take from the past but transform it for the future, bringing a unique blend of music, soul, and faith to Verizon Hall for one night only.
