Over the past couple of years, I’ve become a huge fan of Australian artist Kofi Owusu-Ansah, better known as Genesis Owusu. I find his music exciting because he transcends genres across his albums, seamlessly blending hip-hop, punk, R&B and pop into a cohesive piece of art. When I learned that Genesis Owusu was coming to Nashville on Oct. 29, I knew I couldn’t miss out on seeing him. To begin the night, Enumclaw, a rock band hailing from Tacoma, Wash., took to the stage.

I decided to venture out on a Sunday night to Marathon Music Works to try out a new concert venue. The act for the night was The Midnight, a synthwave group based in Los Angeles. The moment that I stepped into the space, I saw concertgoers around me with futuristic outfits and LED-light glasses chatting excitedly.

We found beauty mid-air in California, and even in our backyards. We hope you enjoy taking them in through our shots, too. Josh Rehders, Deputy Photography DirectorDespite being mostly in hibernation after studying abroad last semester, I still managed to get out and take some photos.
