Global Artists Collective, F-Rock Inc., and Seattle's Artists at the Center program proudly present "Intersections of Soul, Jazz & Hip-Hop Across the Generations" on May 31, 2026. This rare performance unites generations of artists and music genres, featuring Grammy-nominated jazz artist Nathan Breedlove alongside his nephew, B-Boy Fidget (aka Marcus Sharpe), his brother Ted Sharpe, and the award-winning band Global Heat.
