55 YEARS OF VISION

A Contemporary Reinterpretation of Stevie Wonder

Birds Basement — Thursday March 26

More than half a century ago, a young Stevie Wonder emerged—not just as a prodigious talent, but as a force that would rewire the way we hear, feel, and think about music. Though blind in sight, his vision was boundless. With sound as his medium and truth as his message, Stevie's work transcended genre, race, and era, speaking directly to the soul and consciousness of a generation—and every generation since.

RE-ENVISIONS 

This project is not simply a tribute. It’s a reimagining. A bold, respectful, and deeply musical conversation with Wonder’s catalogue—both his universally cherished anthems and his lesser-known, but equally profound, B-sides.

We aim to uncover new emotional and harmonic terrain within his music—highlighting the intricacy of his compositions, the radical tenderness of his lyrics, and the fearless social commentary that defined his era and still echoes today.

Stevie Wonder: Sonic Architect

Stevie Wonder was never merely a singer or multi-instrumentalist. He is, and has always been, a sonic architect—a builder of musical worlds layered with political urgency, spiritual clarity, and melodic innovation. This night is an exploration of that legacy. It’s where reverence meets reinvention.
