JMSN live in Athens

Περιγραφή στα Αγγλικά

JMSN does almost everything himself — writes the songs, produces them, plays the parts, records, mixes and masters — which is why his alternative R&B sounds airtight and slightly haunted at once. On 8 June the Detroit artist born Christian Berishaj brings the Scared Straight Tour to Gazarte's Ground Stage, working through his new album of the same name alongside older material.

This is the small room at Gazarte, the standing rock-and-alt space rather than the rooftop — close quarters for a falsetto he tends to push live well past where the records leave it. Expect a crowd of R&B and soul heads who came to listen, not to talk over the set.

If you want a big seated concert hall, this isn't it. But if you want JMSN at arm's length in a room that holds a few hundred, the Ground Stage is the right size.

Doors from 20:00, music around 21:30; the kitchen is real if you arrive hungry. Tickets via more.com. Accessible by metro from Kerameikos.
