Archpalatine - One of the freshest new artistic voices standing out amongst the backdrop of the City of Brotherly Love’s many multi-faceted and musically talented artists. Archpalatine the singer, songwriter, pianist, performer, and charismatic band front-man Derek Anthony Wilson is poised to not only create a lane for himself and his bandmates (Anthony Pompey - vocals, Aaron Wolf - percussion, Ben High – bass, and John Palmer - Synths/Direction) but also blaze a trail for creative risk-takers, soulful storytellers, and theatrical musicians who challenge the old guard of musical gatekeepers.
Wilson is a classically trained concert vocalist, National Marian Anderson Historical Society scholar artist, and internationally touring musician whose accolades both on and off-stage are only rivaled by his desire to use his musical platform and gifts to initiate and support social change, engaging spirit, and talent, and course ambitions within the musical landscape. With a penchant for beautifully and seamlessly blending genres, Archpalatine sires a sound that is just as difficult to pigeonhole into one category as it is to forget.
Archpalatine breaks down the genre to create a new sound that may eloquently and appropriately be called “Histrionic Cosmic Soul”. The feel-good music gifted to the audience at an Archpalatine show offers a long-time abandoned experience that can be enjoyed by every group of people from all walks of life, every taste in entertainment, all preferences and interests, and moves the soul, be it in the form of smiles on faces to dancing out of your seat.
Archpalatine infuses his musical presentations with theatrics traditionally reserved for stage shows and are reminiscent of large-scale Broadway features — be they performed on a grand scale, in intimate rooms, or at the trendiest outlets. Performances by this musical powerhouse develop a rapport with the audience, encourage audience participation through call & response, and incorporate danceable rhythms.
