The Connor Price and Nic D Scene, Up Close
DIY Energy, Friendly Pace
Expect a mix of college kids, young pros, and longtime indie-rap fans who know the words but leave space for new listeners. Streetwear is neat and unfussy: clean sneakers, caps, and light jackets, plus the odd fruit tee nodding to

Lighting tends to paint bold blocks of color that match the tempo shifts rather than chase every snare.
