The Chicago-born soul singer and harmonium player Zeshan B’s finely tuned tenor hints at his classical operatic training, and his regular musical and vocal diversions into Indo-Pakistani folk and classical style serve as indicators of his heritage. But it is his deep love for retro-soul grooves that most clearly defines him as a protege following in the footsteps of sixties and seventies giants like Bobby “Blue” Bland and Sam Cooke, intentionally emphasizing that era's ethos of progressive politics and intersectional protest music with tracks like his hard-rocking anthem "Brown Power." A veteran of Lincoln Center's performance and educational programs, Zeshan and his five-piece band will perform songs from his albums Melismatic and Vetted plus new music Zeshan composed during the pandemic.
