SUMMARY:HipStory Presents The Break
DESCRIPTION:HipStory Presents The Break featuring Dear\, Rose & S AND R\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Break” is bi-weekly showcase dedicated to Boston’s hip-hop/R&B artists and DJs\, connecting the city’s underground talent with new audiences. This program is curated by HipStory. \n\n\n\n\n\nArtist Bios\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDear\, Rose Trio\n\n\n\nDear\, Rose is a modern trio blending jazz\, hip-hop\, gospel\, and soul into honest\, intentional music. We love creating moments that feel both intimate and powerful—whether we’re playing original music\, reimagining familiar songs\, or supporting other artists. Every performance is rooted in groove\, connection\, and the belief that music can bring people together. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nS AND R\n\n\n\nS AND R is the indie-alternative partnership of Saxon Kennedy and Reeve Pope\, bringing an uproarious rock instrumentation to vulnerable\, genre-bending songwriting. Their world is expanding with alternative hip hop-tinged second EP DOWNDOWNDOWN\, a five-act story about spiraling relationships\, fractured friendships\, and unraveling mental health. \n\n\n\nSaxon and Reeve find dialogue onstage\, drum fills responding to guitar riffs and lyrics in a tight embrace. Saxon screams moody confessionals: queerness\, community\, love\, loss\, friends. Behind the drum set\, Reeve retorts in rhythms that pull these quivering stories together. They are backed by a rotating cast of faces that join them onstage\, in the studio\, and behind the scenes. \n\n\n\nThese are the stories that compel you to listen\, to dance\, to shout\, to linger. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstagram\n\nYouTube
