The series kicks off Wednesday, Sept. 15, with The Veldt’s signature shoegaze-soul, followed the next week by Rissi Palmer’s “Southern Soul” (Sept. 22), local singer-songwriter’s Skylar Gudasz’s genre-fluid vocalizations (Sept. 29) and closes with The Dead Tongues’ folk rock Friday, Oct. 1.
The feeling will evoke “Music in the Gardens,” the annual summer series by Duke Performances, but in the downtown setting of the American Tobacco Campus with its unique offering of local restaurants including Parker & Otis and Boricua Soul.
