WILL CALHOUN is a Bronx-born two-time Grammy winner from the iconic genre bending rock band LIVING COLOR. Fearlessly blending African sounds with urban grooves, a bit of Jazz, and a pinch of electronica, Calhoun will lead his unique ensemble in exploring "Afro Futurism Jazz" — a truly special musical experience featuring: urban beats, West African rhythms, indigenous sounds, electronic trance, with a huge touch of "The Bronx Flava". Your mind, body, spirit, will be musically transported. Will Calhoun graduated from the Berklee College of Music, where he received his degree in Recording and Engineering. He has produced/toured with Harry Belafonte, Pharoah Sanders, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Buster Williams, Public Enemy, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def, Herb Alpert, Mick Jagger, Oumou Sangare, and many others. Earlier this year, Calhoun was honored at The Bronx Museum of the Arts’ 2023 Gala, receiving the "Cultural Vanguard” award for outstanding performance, cultural research, and for reinvesting his talents/knowledge in the Bronx....
