The Oak Ridge Boys are synonymous with an iconic blend of gospel, blues, country, and rock. The group is made up of four singers: Duane Allen (lead), William Lee “Mountain Man” Golden (baritone), Richard Sterban (bass), and Joe Bonsall (tenor). Since they united in 1973, these five-time Grammy-winning legends have recorded more than 40 country and gospel albums. Some of their most noted songs are “American Made,” “Elvira,” and “Bobby Sue.” Additionally, the group has won four Country Music Awards, six Billboard Awards, and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2011. To celebrate their 40thanniversary last year, The Oak Ridge Boys released Faith, Family, & Freedom, an album that revisits some of their most treasured songs such as “Thank God for Kids” and “Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight.”

Montreal-based experimental artist Valentin Stip is the first DJ to release on Nicolas Jaar’s new label, Other People. Valentin is also part of the GEIST agency in Berlin. Fans of Nicolas Jaar and his label are already familiar with the ambient and abstract sounds that Stip will bring to Malmaison on March 15. In his album Sigh, the piano is the center point bringing together various Eastern percussion instruments. His sounds indulge the audience into a meditative and unforgettable musical experience.
“I don’t really have a style or genre-based approach. I try to make something that feels instinctively right. It involves a lot of searching but when I find that feels right, eventually it develops concretely.” said Stip.
