Just Released Live Single “Destination X”
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – September 18, 2024 – Carnival Xhibition, the Funky “Bone Rock” band, today announced that the new release of its new uplifting and fun single, “Destination X,” is climbing the social media charts. The bluesy soul song pays tribute to original American Blues artists such as Robert Johnson from Mississippi and icons from Chicago, Memphis, and St. Louis, who founded the unique artform known as “The Blues.”
Lashawn Bowens, aka Slickfoot, is the rock ’n’ soul band’s singer, bassist and tap dancer. He is joined by Daniel Edell, aka Steam Machine, its guitarist and songwriter. For the past ten years, the band’s acoustic shows share a wonderful intimacy and draw audiences with timely messages on cultural issues and values. One of the band’s main themes is that musicians from different backgrounds can make magic.
Carnival Xhibition’s unique band name calls out various musical styles. The band likes to describe itself as a mix of Tina Turner’s rock ’n’ soul, a folk sound like that of” Mumford and Sons,” and the alternative rock inspiration piece celebrating the spirit of the “Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
Slickfoot and Steam Machine have interesting musical pasts. Lashawn grew up in an artistic family, with dad the musician and mom the dancer inspiring her musical journey. Daniel Edell, found his passion for music at 12, playing trombone in the school band. Carnival Xhibition is the vehicle for the two creatives as they travel on a quest to overcome cultural barriers. Their music makes it clear to the world that people from varied backgrounds can create musical magic.
“Our audiences love that we combine all sorts of music styles, from alternative funk to alternative rock music and a just a hint of relatable folk,” said Slickfoot and Steam Machine. “It is so much fun to play music that does not conform to only one style. Call us a band that plays an innovative style, called ‘Bone Rock,’ our personal take on rock, blues, funk, soul and alternative folk.”
