Ish Ensemble Tickets

Ish Ensemble is a dynamic Afro fusion jazz project formed in 2016 by Brit Lockhart. What began as a rotating collective has grown into a wide-reaching ensemble with contributions from nearly 38 performers referenced across 2025 media coverage. The group blends jazz with rock, neo-soul, classical textures, and global rhythms to create a sound that is both exploratory and richly melodic. Based around Floating Island Records, Ish Ensemble continually pushes the boundaries of contemporary jazz while staying deeply connected to community and live performance.

Led by Lockhart, Ish Ensemble utilizes a large pool of collaborators, bringing different voices and instruments into each project. Their music invites listeners to journey through intricate arrangements, improvisational passages, and groove-forward sections that reward attentive listening and repeated visits.

Upcoming live appearances include a highly anticipated show at Dark Room in Saint Louis on August 16, 2025, marking a key stop on their 2025 schedule. In addition, the ensemble maintains a summer residency at Pie Guy Pizza, offering intimate, high-energy performances in a relaxed setting. Fans can follow the band on Bandcamp, Apple Music, and Instagram for releases, tour updates, and behind-the-scenes content.
