Call it cello. Call it fire. Just don’t call it ordinary. Atlanta-based cellist and songwriter Okorie “OkCello” Johnson brings his blend of looped layers, improvisation, and musical storytelling to the stage—fusing classical chops with the pulse of jazz, funk, and expressions of the African Diaspora.  

A sonic alchemist with credits alongside Maxwell, Big Boi, and India.Arie, OkCello sculpts lush, hypnotic soundscapes in real time that blur genres and stir the senses. Part Bobby McFerrin, part Bill Withers, a little Miles, a little Ed Sheeran—this is cello with a twist and a whole lot of attitude.  

Join OKCello for this fearless concert journey full of vivid imagination and a vibe all its own. It starts with the cello, and then it takes off.
