BlockParty Presents: America, Who Hurt You? Featuring Q&A with Bosko Kante!
Join BlockParty for a live performance from Tony-winner and 4x mainstage TED Talker Sarah Jones, followed by a rare, intimate conversation with Grammy-winning producer and HiiiWAV founder Bosko Kante!
Jones, who is known for her multi-character solo shows, returns to San Francisco as part of her America, Who Hurt You? live tour and podcast series. In a moment when our country needs it most, Jones brings her dazzling range of characters, all based on her real, multiracial background, center stage to keep audiences laughing and hopeful in these unhinged times.
Following her solo performance, Jones will be joined onstage by the Bay Area’s favorite musician, inventor, producer, and tech founder Bosko for an unfiltered, unscripted conversation on the state of creativity, consciousness, and how the rise of AI affects it all.
