Keyon Harrold live in Chicago

Experience Keyon Harrold live on July 25th

Keyon Harrold is a critically acclaimed trumpeter and vocalist known for a sound deeply rooted in jazz but incorporating elements of R&B, hip-hop, and soul. His music often explores themes of Black American life and features both original compositions and interpretations of classic songs. Harrold gained wider recognition for his involvement in the 2020 incident at the Arlo Hotel in New York City, which brought issues of racial profiling to the forefront, and subsequently released the album *Blackspace* as a direct response. He has collaborated with artists including Beyoncé, Common, and Robert Glasper.

Beyond performance spaces, the Logan Center includes visual arts galleries, rehearsal rooms, and facilities for film and new media. The center aims to be an inclusive hub supporting a wide range of artistic disciplines and providing opportunities for artists at all levels to create, present, and experience art.
