Lightspeed Champion
British singer-songwriter Devonte Hynes fuses genres and styles of music in deftly serious ways, even if he doesn’t intend them to be. Hynes’ new group, Lightspeed Champion, is a creative indie-folk group that intertwines lush Britpop with countrified rock. He performs at the basement of the First Unitarian Church in Center City, Philadelphia.
