Electronic pioneers Kraftwerk launch their major 2022 North American 3-D concert tour in Saint Louis tomorrow, May 27.  The summer run will not only build on their concert tours worldwide 3-D of the last ten years, but also mark the tour’s long-awaited launch after 2020 plans had to be cancelled. Bringing together music, 3-D visuals, and performance art, Kraftwerk are a true Gesamtkunstwerk: a total work of art. If Kraftwerk’s history of boundary-pushing music and performance are any indication, these won’t be shows to miss.

“If you were Black, you played blues or soul music … I wanted to play folk music.” Suppressed by a music industry heavily influenced by racial stereotypes, Cleveland Francis' stirring, contemplative, and emotionally moving recordings from the late ‘60s through the early ‘70s were a political act in and of itself. Now restored and remastered by GRAMMY-award winning audio engineer, Michael Graves, the hauntingly beautiful anthology, Beyond The Willow Tree, is available via Forager Records.
