Andre 3000 Brings His Flute Album to Life at ‘New Blue Sun’ Tour’s Opening Night in Brooklyn: Concert Review
Outkast's Andre 3000 brought his 'New Blue Sun' album to life, complete with multiple flutes, at the tour's opening night in Brooklyn on Monday.
The audience let the music wash over them as lights glowed behind the four person-backing band — comprised of Carlos Nino, Nate Mercereau, Deantoni Parks and Surya Botofasina, who were joined later by two special guests. Down the aisle, a fan closed her eyes, perhaps to drift off into another world or nap quickly, while another, Emmy-nominated actor J. Alphonse Nicholson from “P Valley,” bobbed his head like he was blasting a brassy Trap track. Andre broke up the show with stories of meeting Nino in the fancy Los Angeles grocery store, Erewhon, describing his early melodies as “babies” and admitting that he never thought he’d be playing “fucking flutes.”
