DESCRIPTION:Kirk Whalum picked up the saxophone as a boy in Memphis\, Tennessee\, soaking up the soulful spirituality he found in gospel music. He made his mark in Houston’s thriving nightclub scene in the 1980s\, fusing elements of gospel\, blues\, and jazz to develop his distinctive tenor sound: soul-drenched\, emotional\, and highly melodic. It was also in Houston where he teamed up with jazz keyboardist Bob James\, a collaboration that would lead to five albums\, a number one record\, and his first Grammy nomination. \nWhalum’s solo on Whitney Houston’s megahit “I Will Always Love You” made his sound familiar to millions\, and he has been an in-demand session player for the likes of Barbra Streisand\, Luther Vandross\, and Quincy Jones. As a bandleader and solo artist\, Whalum has released more than 25 records\, including the lauded Gospel According to Jazz series. The Grammy winner has also been honored on the Beale Street Brass Notes Walk of Fame and on the Music City Walk of Fame in Nashville.

SUMMARY:Dessa
DESCRIPTION:This performance may contain adult language. \nSpanning genres and disciplines\, Minneapolis rapper Dessa’s style is defined by tenderness\, ferocity\, candor\, and wit. As a musician\, she has written music for large choirs\, crowd-surfed at rock clubs\, recorded a live album with the Grammy-winning Minnesota Orchestra\, and contributed a track to the number-one album The Hamilton Mixtape. \nHer musical career began in earnest when she was asked to join the Minneapolis hip hop collective Doomtree\, which was known for bold production\, charismatic lyricists\, and explosive live shows. Since then\, she has released several full-length albums\, working across sounds and styles while keeping her razor-sharp writing front and center. Dessa has also written for The New York Times and National Geographic Traveler\, hosted two seasons of the BBC podcast Deeply Human\, and published several poetry books and literary collections\, including the memoir-in-essays My Own Devices.

SUMMARY:Fred Tackett and Scott Sharrard of Little Feat
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 1969 by slide guitar juggernaut Lowell George\, Little Feat in its current configuration features longtime multi-instrumentalist Fred Tackett and virtuoso guitarist Scott Sharrard\, who brings fresh energy to the group’s classic sound. They are featured together in TrueFire’s Session Legends series and have been touring with the band in support of its 2025 album\, Sam’s Place. \nStepping out from the electric swamp boogie of Little Feat and hitting the road with a couple of acoustic guitars and some great songs and stories\, Tackett and Sharrard pull material from Little Feat\, their own songwriting catalogues\, and their own history\, which includes stints with Bob Dylan and the Gregg Allman Band.
