Yerba Buena Gardens Festival Presents Madison McFerrin + The Seshen
at Yerba Buena Gardens
(2:00pm-3:30pm)
With every EP, single and video, soul-steeped vocalist Madison McFerrin has offered an alluring look at her sensuous musical world. With lapidary textures, predatory grooves and a beguilingly low-affect delivery, the San Francisco native has established herself as more than a performer. She turns public spaces into emotionally welcoming zones where rhythm serves as a balm and dancing liberates the spirit. Her 2023 debut album, I Hope You Can Forgive Me, gave a wider spectrum look at her capacious lyrical gift (a quality she shares with her legendary father, Bobby McFerrin).
The Seshen is a San Francisco Bay Area six-piece band whose songs exist between the lines: in the space between waking and dreaming, ego and collective consciousness, at that blurred horizon where earth meets sea meets sky.
Anchored by Lalin St. Juste's sly, silvery vocals (which draw frequent comparisons to Erykah Badu) and cerebral yet danceable rhythms from producer-bassist Akiyoshi Ehara, their music pulls from a deep well of electronic influences, R&B, and indie rock. Drummer Chris Thalmann, keyboard/synth player Mahesh Rao, percussionist Mirza Kopelman and sequencer Kumar Butler make the music three-dimensional, blending live and digital instrumentation to create the band's signature transportive sound.
