Ikechi Onyenaka

Freedom means many different things, and as we barrel toward America’s 250th, we’re giving some thought about what it means to our music. You could do worse than to peruse what’s happening on the scene in the coming week, as laid out in Moment's Notice.

Superhero bassist Christian McBride returns to the 215, and our own J. Michael Harrison celebrates 30 years on the air, in this week's Moment's Notice.

Saxophonist Ikechi Onyenaka sees his music as a message to anyone on their path toward success. He'll bring that energy to the Philadelphia Juneteenth Festival on Saturday, at the Johnson House Historic Site in Germantown.
