Read full details

Ghanaian-Australian artist Genesis Owusu brings his critically acclaimed live show to Chicago's Empty Bottle. Known for his genre-defying blend of neo-soul, alt-pop, synth-punk, and funk, his performances are an electrifying mix of political commentary and high-energy music.

Owusu's set draws heavily from his third studio album, *Redstar Wu & the Worldwide Scourge*, a 14-track project praised by Pitchfork for its post-industrial dissonance and stinging social commentary. With guest appearances from Duckwrth and Ladyhawke on the record, the show promises a kaleidoscopic journey through resistance and joy.

The album's themes of institutional corruption and calls for unity create an atmosphere that is both urgent and celebratory. Owusu's sharp lyricism and eclectic soundscape make for a powerful, cohesive live experience that urges resistance, unity, and love amid global chaos.
