Jonathan Scales Fourchestra live in Wilmington

Experience Jonathan Scales Fourchestra live on September 23rd

Jonathan Scales Fourchestra will perform at the Tina Betz Urban Artist Exchange in Wilmington, Delaware on September 23, 2026. The ensemble is known for its innovative blend of progressive jazz, funk, and world music influences, prominently featuring Jonathan Scales’ virtuosic playing on the steelpan. Their compositions often incorporate complex arrangements and improvisation, drawing comparisons to artists like Medeski Martin & Wood and Snarky Puppy while maintaining a distinctly Caribbean-rooted sound.

The Tina Betz Urban Artist Exchange is a performance and exhibition space dedicated to fostering artistic dialogue and community engagement. Established in memory of artist Tina Betz, the Exchange focuses on presenting experimental and contemporary art across various disciplines. The space intentionally occupies a non-traditional gallery setting – a converted industrial building – aiming to break down barriers between artists and audiences. It regularly hosts concerts, installations, workshops, and residencies, prioritizing emerging and underrepresented artists alongside established names. The Exchange emphasizes accessibility and aims to contribute to the cultural vibrancy of Wilmington’s creative landscape. It is operated as a project of the Delaware Contemporary.
