Rooted in sounds from across the African diaspora, DJs Effygasm and Kwey build spaces for connection. Off Wax is one of those spaces.
Each night, an artist takes the stage with a live band. Off Wax offers them the chance to bring their music to life in a way that feels close — to revisit, reimagine, or reveal. Think: MTV Unplugged if it was softly lit, deeply Black, and carefully built for community.
For this installment of Off Wax, Barrister makes his Berlin debut. Barrister has quickly become an act not to be missed here in the Twin Cities. Effy and Kwey will close the night with a DJ set, keeping the energy warm, rooted, and in flow.
Barrister is determined to follow in the tradition of those who came before him. He craftily combines his soulful voice, on-stage theatrics, and Minneapolis-inspired sound in his expressive performances.
