Dallas native, current D.C. artist, and rising star chromonicci.’s latest single “Magnetic” is funky, fresh, and flavorful.

Christian Crenshaw aka chromonicci. is a versatile creative and performer, acting as producer, vocalist, and DJ. Headlining shows in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles and beyond, he has garnered support from the likes of Sam Gellaitry, Mr. Carmack, and Medasin. His curated sound falls into a contemporary R&B style, but it dips into and draws from many styles. Crenshaw calls his sound “niccibounce”, which he says “is groovy, emotive, and flavorful.”

“Magnetic” definitely lives up to this description. It is sexy and sparkling, but maintains its experimental, funky sound. chromonicci creates a shimmering soundscape, furnished with warm and familiar details.

Fans of Middle School or Mama Aiuto would enjoy chromonicci.’s music. It feels creamy, plush, and wholesome, while maintaining an edginess that delights listeners.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
