As part of its ongoing Sounds of the Tenderloin live music series, TLM presents a set by DOTCOM & the NOISE on the APICC Stage as the finale to a day full of live entertainment. Dotcom is a talented, Tenderloin based singer & songwriter who performs regularly with iconic TL groups like the GLIDE Ensemble & Skywatchers. Dotcom’s own musical project, DOTCOM & THE NOISE, couples his exuberant, soulful vocal stylings to the grooves and improvisations of a funky jazz ensemble. In collaboration with a four piece band featuring Lise Ramaley (bass), A.C. Lewis (drums), Ben Paul (keys), and Don Ferguson (strings), Dotcom summons a stirring repertoire of classic soul music, channeling the unbridled intensity of Screaming Jay Hawkins, the cool groove of Bill Withers, and the profound beauty of Nina Simone.
This live musical performance is made possible by funding from the Specified General Fund for the Museum Grant Program under the California Cultural and Historical Endowment.
