He is known for his presence on YouTube playing bass guitar and being one of the last people to work with Prince. He is a Grammy Award winning artist\, for his participation on the 2020 Nas album King’s Disease. Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers has referred to Mono as “The greatest … electric bass player”. On November 1\, 2022\, Fender released the MonoNeon Collection\, which included the MonoNeon Jazz Bass V Signature. \nAbout APBOYZ \nAPBOYZ is a high-energy super group\, whose music can be classified as a sort of jazz hip-hop fusion. Each member of the group is an independent artist\, working on their own original music as well as performing with many of Houston’s local artists. APBOYZ is the pseudonym used when the four for them perform together. \nThe group was almost formed by accident. MBK\, ΛΣE\, Maxx & Yung Punk met each other through local jam session and really enjoyed each other’s playing. They began to meet weekly to jam out and let loose; almost a sort musical group meditation. After a couple months\, things naturally fell into place and the group was officially established. There is no doubt in their authenticity to the listener. This is who we are and we’re going to show it to you the best way we know how. The proof is in the pudding! \n  \nMarket Vendors: \nConstantin’s\nEvans BBQ\nPopLife Popping Co.\nLone Star Beards\nSam Saves\nRoro’s Retro\nMiss Boujee Bakes\nMy Organic Skin\, LLC\nPeppaz\nUncle Louie G’s\nSkyCraft\nVolando Coffee \n  \n

SUMMARY:Underground Sounds: Sam Nester
DESCRIPTION:Tickets for this performance are sold out. Next performance series\, Three Names by Sarah Grace Graves\, ticket release: May 16 at 9am. \n  \nJoin us for Underground Sounds\, a unique music series in the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern! \nThis year\, the series features national and international artists presenting compositions inspired by the vast\, unique architecture of the Cistern and arranged especially for its extraordinary natural acoustics. \n  \nAbout This Program\nAustralian-born trumpet player\, composer\, and sound artist Sam Nester has created a site-specific musical composition for brass ensemble\, designed to resonate within the historic Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern. Nester’s piece unfolds gradually over 25 minutes\, exploring the Cistern’s vast 87\,500-square-foot space and its unique 19-second reverb. The composition accentuates the space’s cathedral-like acoustics\, transforming it into an immersive\, meditative experience centered on water and its profound significance—both in the Cistern’s history and within the broader global water crisis. Accompanying the live performance is an evolving light installation that deepens the sensory experience\, encouraging audiences to reflect on the societal implications of water access. Globally\, approximately 2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water\, and in the United States\, over 2 million individuals still face this challenge in their homes. Through this performance\, Nester invites contemplation on the essential role of water and the urgent disparities in its availability. \n  \nCost: $25 \nPerformance Times: \n\nMarch 13 at 6:30pm and 7:30pm – SOLD OUT\nMarch 14 at 6:30pm and 7:30pm – SOLD OUT\nMarch 15 at 5:30pm and 6:30pm – SOLD OUT\nMarch 16 at 5:30pm and 6:30pm – SOLD OUT\n\n  \nAbout the Artist\nSam Nester is an Australian-born trumpet player\, composer\, and sound artist based in New York.

Since 2022\, Nester has collaborated with policy officers from the European Commission Directorate-General for Environment and scientists from the Joint Research Centre on sound installations at the nexus of art\, science\, and policy. \nHe has been the artist-in-residence with NYU Abu Dhabi’s Center for Genomics & Systems Biology\, Bruny Island (Australia)\, the US National Parks in Hawai’i\, and Italy’s Festival of Arts Design Acerenza.

SUMMARY:Underground Sounds: Sam Nester
DESCRIPTION:Tickets for this performance are sold out. Next performance series\, Three Names by Sarah Grace Graves\, ticket release: May 16 at 9am. \nJoin us for Underground Sounds\, a unique music series in the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern! \nThis year\, the series features national and international artists presenting compositions inspired by the vast\, unique architecture of the Cistern and arranged especially for its extraordinary natural acoustics. \n  \nAbout This Program\nAustralian-born trumpet player\, composer\, and sound artist Sam Nester has created a site-specific musical composition for brass ensemble\, designed to resonate within the historic Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern. Nester’s piece unfolds gradually over 25 minutes\, exploring the Cistern’s vast 87\,500-square-foot space and its unique 19-second reverb. The composition accentuates the space’s cathedral-like acoustics\, transforming it into an immersive\, meditative experience centered on water and its profound significance—both in the Cistern’s history and within the broader global water crisis. Accompanying the live performance is an evolving light installation that deepens the sensory experience\, encouraging audiences to reflect on the societal implications of water access. Globally\, approximately 2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water\, and in the United States\, over 2 million individuals still face this challenge in their homes. Through this performance\, Nester invites contemplation on the essential role of water and the urgent disparities in its availability. \n  \nCost: $25 \nPerformance Times: \n\nMarch 13 at 6:30pm and 7:30pm – SOLD OUT\nMarch 14 at 6:30pm and 7:30pm – SOLD OUT\nMarch 15 at 5:30pm and 6:30pm – SOLD OUT\nMarch 16 at 5:30pm and 6:30pm – SOLD OUT\n\n  \nAbout the Artist\nSam Nester is an Australian-born trumpet player\, composer\, and sound artist based in New York.
