Sunday 7:30pm. You mentioned wanting to see this band. I'll admit I've never heard of him so I had to do some research. Per Wikipedia:
Michael Todd Gordon (born September 27, 1996), better known by his stage name Mk.gee, is an American singer-songwriter, music producer, and multi-instrumentalist...On February 9, 2024, Gordon released his debut album Two Star & the Dream Police, via R&R, to critical acclaim. Praised by Pitchfork as one of the best albums of the first half of the 2020s, the album was supported by five singles: "Candy", "How Many Miles", "Are You Looking Up", "You Got It", and "Dream Police".
I had to look up the Pitchfork review. They say:
the 26-year-old from New Jersey subverts recognizable forms—’80s R&B ballads, Phil Collins-inspired downtempo anthems, Michael Jackson-meets-Arthur Russell pop-rock grooves—with unusual tones, tempos, and textures. His distinctive, distended guitar playing and Prince-indebted singing are pinholed through murky, twitchy mixes that refuse to stay still.
"Candy" has a Prince feel.
He performed "Are you Looking Up" on Jimmy Kimmel Live. His guitar is definitely Purple Rain-era Prince sounding.
"Alesis" has gotten lots of airplay on KUTX. It's got that Phil Collins/Sting/Police 80s sound.
This is latest single and biggest hit so far. This is him performing it on SNL.

Bon Iver is a Mk.gee fan. He's on his latest album. He also cowrote a song.
