Beck & Phoenix

Eight-time Grammy-winning artist Beck and Grammy-winning French band Phoenix kick off their co-headlining Summer Odyssey tour here in Seattle. 

ABOUT BECK

Beck, the eight-time Grammy-winning artist and 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee, has come a long way since he first became an unlikely representative of his generation with the hit single “Loser” in 1994. Over the years, he has explored various genres and eras of music, establishing himself as a unique and visionary artist who blends the past and present. With his debut album Mellow Gold in 1994, Beck broke into the mainstream and alternative music scene and continued to surprise audiences with subsequent releases such as One Foot in the Grave, Odelay, Mutations, Midnite Vultures, Sea Change, Guero, The Information, Modern Guilt, Morning Phase, Colors, and Hyperspace. As noted by The New York Times, although Beck’s records tend to feature meticulous sonic arrangements, melody remains the core of his artistry. With each new album, Beck’s sound evolves at an exponential rate, making each one distinct and different from its predecessors.
