About the Show
THE REVOLUTION is a performance series highlighting Brooklyn & Harlem based artists + musicians that not only represent the core of independent pop culture but who currently stand in the breeding ground of evolution within their genre.
This local musical movement empowers community, change, and activism through performance and unity amongst the arts. Once a month, three different artists showcasing three different genres have a chance to spread love, light, and awareness through their music and their stories. This series supports revolutionary artistry and how important music is to healing, in all aspects of life.
As a part of VOL. 27, The Revolution will feature three incredible live performances from local artists:
Rue Brown, Sirintip, and Camille Trust

Sirintip
Stretching across three continents and cultures (Thailand, Sweden and America), Sirintip’s remarkable debut album Tribus — produced by three-time Grammy winner Michael League of Snarky Puppy — is a gathering of different moments from the last four years of the singer/composer’s life. It’s an exciting, eclectic work that touches on pop, R&B, electronic and jazz, while creating a sound uniquely its own.
Tribus embraces a jazz heritage but sounds decidedly modern — you could easily put these songs on a playlist between Thundercat, Kimbra and Little Dragon. “The idea behind the album is to bridge the gap between pop and jazz by combining singable melodies with grooves, jazz harmonies and electronics,” says the singer. “The music might sound simple when you listen to it at first, but if you dig deeper, you´ll find the hidden depth and complexity.”
Outside of her own album, Sirintip has recorded with Snarky Puppy’s Bill Laurance, competed
in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition, performed with Benny Andersson from ABBA during a fundraiser held at the Guggenheim, opened at the Polar Music Prize to honor jazz great Wayne Shorter, performed for the King of Sweden at the Wallenberg 100th anniversary, honored the king of Thailand at the National Theatre in Bangkok, and twice performed and composed musical interpretations of the Nobel Prize nominations at the Nobel Museum in Sweden.
Camille Trust
To know Camille Trust is to love her soul-baring, unapologetic music. Camille is a raw, soulful singer with a groovy style that brings dynamic energy onstage, seamlessly blending strong vocal ability with showmanship. She combines unbridled bravado with unbelievable range and smoky vocals – effortlessly escalating from alto tones to her upper register. Her presence both in the studio and onstage has led her to play packed out venues across New York City – Rockwood Music Hall, SoFar Sounds, Knitting Factory, Bowery Electric, SOBs and Baby’s All Right. After graduation, the Florida native moved to New York City and started writing original music. Camille’s sentiment toward empowerment and confidence through self-discovery is one she evokes and embodies in her upcoming EP slated for release in May. Her first single, “Lose You” off her debut EP, is available on all music platforms. #trust
