The Underground Xperience is an occasional showcase of homegrown talent, chiefly focusing on the genres of soul, rap, R&B, and spoken word, according to concert organizer Josh Graves, owner of Underground Economy at the RME. Friday’s event will include art showcased by Roan Bachar.

Underground Xperience will be a quarterly show, co-presented by RME – each time showcasing four local indie artists and bands.

“This is a mixed genre show that highlights everything from spoken word to soul, hip-hop, R&B, and reggae,” Graves said this week. “This will be a night of good vibes and art and a great way to support the local music community.”

Tickets are available HERE.
