About This Show
For Nico Segal, fear is a ghost invited into his home like an old friend. Scored by the innovative new release Tell the Ghost Welcome Home, Grammy award-winning musician Segal shifts from side stage to the spotlight in an intimate portrait of self-discovery. Welcome Home explores how memory, our past and the myriad versions of self can co-exist through a dazzling waltz of visual and sonic expression.
Please note: every ticket includes an exclusive curated Welcome Home bag of cozy essentials.
Performed by:
Nico Segal, Xenia Mansour, Gabriela Chavez and Louie Robinson
About Nico Segal
Nico Segal, trumpeter and producer from Chicago, kicked off his steady ascent as a founding member of the highly regarded band Kids These Days. After they split in 2013, Nico would build a sneakily impressive resume over the next ten years. Touring with Frank Ocean, founding The Social Experiment with Chance The Rapper, and producing their 2015 album Surf, as well as occupying a myriad of high-profile stages, including three performances on Saturday Night Live, the 2016 National Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Obama White House, the ESPYS, NY Jazz Fest and TEDxChicago. Couple that with multiple Grammy Nominations and winning for Production on Chance The Rapper's Coloring Book, one would be hard-pressed to find heights Segal has yet to reach. Despite an already well-established career, his smile has frequently gone unseen. All that luster needed to take center stage is often spared for collaboration with others; Nico Segal’s latest solo project, Tell the Ghost Welcome Home, will serve as a grand re-introduction to an artist of luminary presence and humble beginnings.
