The Beast

Press Photo 2024
Beautifully rebellious and refreshingly original, The Beast is one of the most imaginative bands to emerge from North Carolina’s burgeoning music scene. The Durham-based quartet fearlessly navigates worlds of hip-hop and jazz with compelling lyrics, progressive compositions and a gripping live show. The Beast is dedicated to education and cultural outreach. The group has developed workshops on the history of African-American music, based on a curriculum founded by emcee Pierce Freelon, a professor of African-American. ARTS-CURRICULUM INTEGRATION: (MUSIC) (HISTORY) (LANGUAGE ARTS) (CULTURAL ARTS)
