Led by drummer Tariq Gardner, Evening Star emerges from Detroit’s rich musical lineage — a city known for innovation, adaptability, and deep groove. The band’s sound travels across the galaxies of the African Diaspora, blending jazz improvisation, neo-soul warmth, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and contemporary Black American music. With an afro-futuristic aesthetic and a mission rooted in positivity and musical integrity, Evening Star delivers performances that are both deeply intentional and irresistibly rhythmic — music as healing, movement, and shared experience.
