Eldraco+FreeNation headline “Lost In The Rhythm,” a high-energy, dance-driven concert experience celebrating the upcoming release of their newest single, recognized as a community favored entry in the 2026 NPR Tiny Desk Contest. Blending pop-funk, soul, and groove-forward live instrumentation, this is a night built for movement; dancing isn’t just encouraged, it’s expected.

Sharing the bill is The Charlie Berry Project @cb3project , led by the grandson of rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry, bridging St. Louis’ legendary sound with its next generation.
With special guest appearances by Grammy Award winner Karin Bliznik @kblizo , Dreavocalz @dreavocalz , and Frankie DooWop @frankiedowop , with Electric David @electric_david playing a special show set for the 5:30 VIP reception. “Lost In The Rhythm” is a full-night vibe built for connection, celebration, and a packed dance floor.

Happy New Year!!! It’s been a big year for #eldracoandfreenation (retrospective to come) lots of exciting highs and very few lows truly a blessing.

But for me my highest moment of the year was getting to be on stage with @mspattilabelle the #godmotherofsoul . She is such an important figure in my artistic makeup and to be able to sing down for her and with her is still something that feels unreal.

Thank you @malenasmithmusic for capturing this important moment in my life in 4k you’re a queen!

Memories from me and #freenation first #livetelevision performance! This song is a fan favorite and has become a standard for our live performances!
#butterflies is track 6 from our #latestrelease Glitter #availableonallplatforms where you listen to music. #linköping

It took us all the way to the finals of @nprmusic tiny desk contest in 2024 and was recognized by @lennonbus for it songwriting!

Thanks to @davidmacrunnel for running such a tight ship at Channel 4! #audioengineering #livesoundproducer
