Puma Blue and Gabe Goodman play Cafe 939

Tune in to birnCORE on Wednesday, November 6 at 8:00 p.m. for a live broadcast from the Red Room @ Cafe 939 featuring London based indie singer-songwriter Puma Blue and special guest Gabe Goodman.

Creatively fusing R&B, jazz, and hip-hop influences, Puma Blue (also known as Jacob Allen) is making a lot of noise in the world of underground lo-fi. Jacob’s music initially gained attention after he released a Soundcloud single in 2014 titled “Only Trying 2 Tell U”. Soon after the bedroom producer began attracting a loyal fanbase, through performing live around London and keeping up a unique internet presence. He released his debut EP Swum Baby in 2017 independently, followed by the even more sonically ambitious Blood Loss in 2018.

Gabe Goodman has endured a long journey in the entertainment business, but is finally coming full circle. Releasing music for barely a year, Goodman has received praise from blogs like BIRP!, ThrdCoast, and The Wild Honey Pie for his EP Dismissing the Gardener. His most recent release “Redacted” explores poppier impulses while keeping the quiet somberness that defines his music.

The show starts at 8:00 p.m. EDT and you can stream it here.
