The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 24 at Lake Harriet Bandshell, 4135 W Lake Harriet Pkwy, Minneapolis, 55419. Admission is free and children are welcome to attend. Audience members should arrive early—all concerts are first-come, first-seated.
DJ Inform hails from Columbus, Ohio, a city known as an underground hotbed for producing quality Jazz, Hip Hop, and Rock music, as well as having a good symphony orchestra. DJ Inform has been influenced by all this, but has been especially drawn to the Hip Hop and Jazz side, and has since toured the country multiple times and shared the stage with some of Hip-Hop’s largest acts, such as Talib Kweli and Minneapolis favorite Brother Ali. DJ Inform released his debut solo album, “The Cutting Room,” in 2010 to critical acclaim, making it onto Thetablist.net top 10 best of 2010, and launching the album with a release show that featured other highly respected Hip Hop acts, Blueprint and Prince Paul (of De La Soul). This instrumental album featured turntable scratching as the featured instrument, but also introduced DJ Inform as a producer, an area he has been working on with the same practice ethic instilled in him since his piano days.
