Golden Dawn Arkestra (album release), Walker Lukens, Sir Woman

Equal parts spiritual space costume opulence and ecstatic, dance-anchored, electro-funk, Golden Dawn Arkestra’s Earthside stage show is an unforgettable musical spectacle. With a record trajectory starting with Sun Ra-tribute roots, heading to to spaghetti Western and soulful psych, and arriving with disco Seventies and electrified Eighties, the constant are messages of peace, love, and understanding – now dovetailed with experiments in self-help televangelism. Celebrating their fourth LP, The Gold Album, GDA’s joined by local favorites: multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/producer Walker Lukens and Sir Woman for a free, stacked show. Hoops and fire?
