The lines between truth and fiction blur with hilarious and moving results in David Henry Hwang's unreliable memoir, recently on Broadway starring Daniel Dae Kim. Asian American playwright DHH, fresh off his Tony Award win for M. Butterfly, leads a protest against the casting of Jonathan Pryce as the Eurasian pimp in the original Broadway production of Miss Saigon, condemning the practice as "yellowface." His position soon comes back to haunt him when he mistakes a Caucasian actor, Marcus G. Dahlman, for mixed race, and casts him in the lead Asian role of his own Broadway-bound comedy, Face Value. When DHH discovers the truth of Marcus' ethnicity, he tries to conceal his blunder to protect his reputation as an Asian American role model, by passing the actor off as a "Siberian Jew." Meanwhile, DHH's father, Henry Y. Hwang, an immigrant who loves the American Dream and Frank Sinatra, finds himself ensnared in the same web of late-1990's anti-Chinese paranoia that also leads to the "Donorgate" scandal and the arrest of Los Alamos nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee. As he clings to his old multicultural rhetoric, this new racist witch hunt forces DHH to confront the complex and ever-changing role that "face" plays in American life today.

Starting as a double act from Israel, excelling any other Israel-born musicians in the charts, Infected Mushroom only achieves when it comes to trance or psytrance. Erez Eisen, 8th September 1980, in Kiryat Yam, Israel. At young age, he learnt how to play the piano and organ, but at 11, he had started to use digital music trackers and then started using DAWs to compose his music. Before he had turned 18, he had already collaborated with many different psytrance artists. Amit Duvdevani, or “Duvdev”, 7th November 1974, had also learnt piano at an early age of 7, but transitioned to rock music at 16. His background is similar to Erez Eisen, which is what led them to meet and team up. Erez Eisen and Amit Duvdevani teamed up in 1996, and since then, have done many albums and singles. Their fame came from psytrance being already popular, but what they brought to the table was Israeli psytrance. Their music then was innovative at that time (and their music nowadays is also innovative nowadays) which contributed to rolling the ball for them. In 2004, they moved their HQ to Los Angeles in California, and two guitarists joined them: Erez Netz and Thomas Cunningham.

What do people want when they go see a live band? The members of SF Bay Area based tribute band ILLEAGLES believe that everyone in the crowd wants to be engaged and captivated from the first note until the show is done. Over the past year and a half of sold out performances, that is exactly what every crowd has gotten. ILLEAGLES was founded in late 2016 when 6 friends came together who all had 2 things in common: 1) they loved the music of the Eagles, and 2) each member was an amazing musician in their own right. This common vision led to hours and hours of studying, rehearsing, and mastering each of the Eagles classic hits. From rockers Life in the Fast Lane and Heartache Tonight, to swooning ballads Desperado and Best of My Love, ILLEAGLES not only reproduce the soaring guitars, multi-part harmonies and tightness of the original band, but also add their own brand of swagger and energy that keeps fans coming back over and over. It’s commonplace for a majority of the audience to start singing along on the first song, and continuing to sing until the show is over (or they lose their voices).

As a singer, songwriter, and sonic healer whose genre-defying sound blends R&B, neo-soul and folk, UMI has proven to be a rising musical force. Born and raised in Seattle to a multicultural, musically inclined family, UMI found her voice early—first sharing acoustic songs and covers on SoundCloud during high school. Her deeply introspective lyrics and calming presence quickly built a loyal following, leading her to leave USC to continue honing her craft and focus on her skyrocketing career. Her most recent album, People Stories, marks a new chapter. Inspired by her loved ones, fans, strangers, and her own experiences, the project explores ego, healing, identity, and connection—all filtered through her signature tranquil songwriting. The album is her most personal and expansive to date, featuring both spoken word outros from her therapist and guide—sonic imperfections are intentionally left in as a tribute to life’s beautiful messiness. People Stories is deeply universal, seamlessly weaving through various styles like R&B, folk and pop, with each track offering its own texture. For UMI, People Stories is both a reclamation of her past and a tribute to collective growth.

In a career that took flight in 1985 with commercial and critical acclaim, guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a chameleonic musical persona of openness, imagination, versatility and maverick daring. Be it bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits, to blazing straight ahead jazz forays and ultramodern improvisational works—solo or with a group—Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys into the unexpected. Key to Jordan’s fast-track acclaim was his mastery of a special technique on the guitar’s fretboard. Instead of conventional strumming and picking, Jordan's innovative "touch technique" is an advanced form of two-handed tapping. While a handful of other players were using similar techniques, Stanley’s fluid, multi-layered textures and sheer virtuosity raised the bar for excellence. But his technique, though impressive, is always a means to a musical end. His music is imbued with a warmth and sensitivity that has captured the imagination of listeners worldwide. A classically trained pianist before playing guitar, Jordan wanted greater freedom in voicing chords on his guitar, so he applied piano principles to do so. Jordan's touch technique allows the guitarist to play melody and chords simultaneously with an unprecedented level of independence. It also allows Jordan to play simultaneously on two different guitars, or even on guitar and piano. He says that “I think of it as a single instrument, but one with a wide range of tonal colors—that’s why I do it.”
