The brainchild of singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, video editor, and multimedia artist Cameron Lew, Ginger Root has been an organic and wholly self-sufficient success story, forged over several years of homegrown, independently released efforts, which helped him find early buzz. After signing to Nashville’s Acrophase Records, 2020 record Rikki helped the Southern California-based project break out to a wider audience, praised for its poppy, soulful indie sound, which conjures influences like the chillwave scene of last decade, Toro y Moi, Vulfpeck, and White Denim. Most recently, inspired by a renewed interest in Japanese art and culture, Ginger Root has had a prolific output over the last several years, and has forged a sound he calls “aggressive elevator soul,” fusing Japanese City Pop with soul and indie, ranging from retro to contemporary sounds, culminating in his best and most wholly-realized full-length yet, SHINBANGUMI, released last month through new label home Ghostly International.
No stranger to Nashville, Ginger Root brings his stellar and vibey live show back to Music City on Oct. 23, headlining Cannery Hall’s Mainstage along with Japanese retro indie pop artist Amaiwana, who brings a complimentary but distinct vibe to the bill. Tickets are still available here, and if you’ve given SHINBANGUMI a spin, you already know this is one of the fall’s must-see shows! We’re also excited to announce that we’re giving away a pair of tickets to one lucky fan; preview the whole lineup and enter to win below.
