Isaiah Rashad
Hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Isaiah Rashad is known for his introspective lyricism and jazz-influenced production, carving out a unique lane in conscious hip-hop. He recently took over the Intuit Plaza in Inglewood, California, for an exclusive Music Nights performance to celebrate the release of his third studio album, It's Been Awful.
Rashad delivered a dynamic outdoor setlist featuring live renditions of new tracks like "THE NEW SUBLIME," "M.O.M.," and the standout single "SAME SH!T." "When the music drops it always represents a moment in time for everyone, “ said Matthew Miller, President of Big Moo Records. “Music Nights was a special way to celebrate that moment with family, friends and most of all fellow music lovers."
Isaiah has amassed a monthly audience of over 1.7 million on YouTube Music, and over 234 million total lifetime views on YouTube. His latest single “SAME SH!T” has been trending globally on the platform since its release. Experience the electrifying full performance exclusively on YouTube.
Kacey Musgraves
Eight-time Grammy Award winner Kacey Musgraves celebrated the release of her highly anticipated sixth studio album, Middle of Nowhere, with three sold-out shows at the historic Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas.
The intimate performances featured new songs including “Dry Spell” and “Mexico Honey,” fan favorites from across her catalog, and a cover of “Tú Solo Tú” alongside opening act The Mariachi Bros. “I couldn’t think of a more iconic place to ring in the new album than historic Gruene Hall,” said Musgraves. “Built in the 1800s, this stage has a lot of good ghosts. Texas has some amazing middle of nowheres, and this is one of my favorites.”
Musgraves has amassed nearly 470 million lifetime views across her official YouTube content and reaches an audience of over 6 million monthly listeners on YouTube Music. Fans can now experience the magic of the performances, now available to watch exclusively on Kacey’s official YouTube channel.
Bleachers
New Jersey’s own Bleachers, led by Grammy winner Jack Antonoff, staged a homecoming performance at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park to celebrate their latest studio album, everyone for ten minutes. The band led the crowd through cuts from the new album including “you and forever” and “sideways,” and fan favorites including “Rollercoaster” and the Lana Del Rey collab “Margaret.”
The intimate venue was an ideal setting for capturing the raw, electric performance and connecting fans. “The day after we released our album, the band and I played a free show at the Stone Pony for 900 fans,” said Antonoff. “Some flew across the country to be there, and others locals who have been coming to see us for over a decade. From the second we stepped onto that stage, it was one of my favorite shows ever. Thank god we filmed it.”
Bleachers continues to be a cultural force in both indie and mainstream music alike, amassing a 1+ million monthly audience on YouTube Music and over 170 million views across their official content on YouTube. Fans can relive the experience exclusively on Bleachers’ official YouTube channel.
