Son Little

You’d have sworn that the shimmering guest vocals on The Roots’ 2004 “Guns Are Drawn” single belonged to any one of the Marleys, but the song features Aaron Livingston,  ===Philadelphia soul man and one-half of the 2011 indie-funk duo Icebird. Since then, he’s rebranded himself as Son Little and released three ambitious refashions of retro soul and blues. His latest three-song suite, neve give up—and this night’s live treat—is a royal teaser for his upcoming full-length release, aloha. —Eric Tullis
