Event Details
Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+Ginger RootA multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, and visual artist from Southern California, Cameron Lew has crafted his Ginger Root project steadily since 2017, inviting a fervent and growing legion of fans into storylines drawn across mediums: captivating albums with accompanying films and globe-spanning tours. The Ginger Root sound handmade yet immaculately polished synth-pop, alt-disco, boogie, and soul takes shape through Lews lens as an Asian-American growing up enamored by 1970s and 80s music, specifically the creative and cultural dialogue between Japanese City Pop and its Western counterparts from French Pop to Philly Soul to Ram-era McCartney. SHINBANGUMI, his long-awaited third LP, and Ghostly International debut set for physical release in 2024 with a visual album component, translates roughly to a new season of a show. It finds Lew more poised, idiosyncratic, and intentional than ever in a new chapter of life, unlocking exactly what Ginger Root should sound and feel like, he says. In terms of instrumentation and musicality, its the first time that I felt very confident and comfortable with what everything should be comprised of. On the more personal side, Im coming out of the last four years of writing, touring, and living as a different person; SHINBANGUMI is a platform to showcase my new self.
