The Eighth is a fusion of art and music unique to the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Relating the contemporary modernity of electronic sound with the classic drama and power of driven, emotional, and occasionally scathing and intensely human lyrics and instruments, The Eighth is a force not to be questioned. It is music designed for the thinkers and dreamers of this generation, combining some of the greatest musical and artistic minds of the area to create intelligent, remarkable, and undeniably strong sound and performance- together. Headed by Shawn L Phillips, whose "no holds barred" approach to creation has brought out the best in his group of producers and live performers, a large team assembled from the best of the best available. The Eighth brings it’s listeners more than just music or a live performance, but also something which they can relate to and think about, something that will broaden their view of the world, and, in essence, themselves.
