Anchorage Native Matthew Chenery to Perform at Osheaga Festival
Chenery, a Berklee student, will perform at the Montreal festival headlined by Travis Scott and Arctic Monkeys.
Boston-based band Luhx. will perform at Montreal’s Osheaga festival on Saturday, August 4. The festival is headlined by Travis Scott, Arctic Monkeys, and Florence + The Machine. Luhx is composed of Berklee students and alumni Corinne Savage, a native of Pittsburgh; Elijah Davis, from Harmony, PA; Collin Keller of Vail, CO; and Matthew Chenery, of Anchorage, AK.
Luhx., an alt-pop/synth band, pairs undeniable grooves with melancholic lyrics to create haunting tunes with striking vocals. The group has become a must see act, bringing its high-energy, self-designed 3-D multimedia experience to stages from sold-out clubs to intimate living room shows. Luhx. has shared bills with Lido, Los Elk, and Brynn Elliott, and was featured at Spotify’s Women in Music Showcase and at a Sofar Sounds event.
The festival gig comes through Berklee’s Popular Music Institute (BPMI), which gives students important performance experience and prepares them for the evolving music landscape – where festivals are booming. Students also gain experience on-site handling promotion, production and tour management. Osheaga is one of seven festivals BPMI artists are appearing at this summer. Others include Chicago’s Lollapalooza and San Francisco’s Outside Lands.
