Toro Y Moi at The Greek Theatre

Chaz Bear, otherwise known as Toro y Moi, is a singer, songwriter, and record producer that spearheaded the chillwave genre in the 2010s. The trailblazer recently dropped the record Sandhills, and it’s a banger! Both a tender love letter to the star’s hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, and a moving, bittersweet acceptance that you can never really go back home, Sandhills is an EP that’s taking over Spotify. Taking appreciation from Sufjan Stevens indie folk album Seven Swans and Karen O’s soundtrack efforts for ‘Where The Wild Things Are,’ this five-track folk-pop album is kinda a Saturn return, reminiscent of Toro y Moi’s first homespun CD-Rs. At the very beginning of the moniker, Chaz Bear handed the disks out to friends. “The releases stuffed in the Case Logic visor of their cars, and each listen brings a little more of that detail to life: the mall after which 'Sandhills' is named; the teenaged friends spending aimless hours there, full of big ennui and bigger dreams; the late-capitalist decline and empty big box stores of Sandhills today,” says Spotify.

From humble beginnings to a globally beloved indie-pop icon, Toro y Moi is here to stay! And this year just might be his biggest yet. Joining the star at the Greek Theatre Berkeley this summer is the undeniably talented Adam Aminé Daniel. Known as simply Aminé, this rapper, singer, and songwriter first hit mainstream with his debut single, "Caroline", which peaked at #11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Portland-based West Coast hip hop sensation has also got big things in store for him. In 2023, Aminé got together with industry heavyweight Kaytranada and released "4eva." Featuring Pharrell Williams, this is the first hit single from their joint album. What’s more, Aminé also starred in the track "C'mon" by South Korean singer Jini from the EP An Iron Hand in a Velvet Glove. Last year was a major year for this world class performer, and we expect 2024 to be even bigger. Also joining this killer lineup is Kenny Mason.
