Ivy Sole
Saturday, February 25, 8pm

"My theory is you can’t get enough of me 'cause I’m potent," Ivy Sole raps on their latest track. And it’s true – we can’t get enough of the Philadelphia-based songwriter, whose melodic, R&B-infused rap is as catchy as it is intimate. Sole steams up Club B-10 with piping-hot verses and spoken wordplay underscored by a live band.
