About

As the title of his most recent album "Hyperspace" might imply, eight-time Grammy-winner Beck has traveled light years from his emergence as a reluctant generational spokesperson when the song Loser exploded from a rejected 1992 demo into a ubiquitous 1994 smash hit. In the decades since, Beck's singular career has seen him explore all genres and eras of music, blurring boundaries and blazing a path into the future while foraging through the past.

Beginning with his 1994 debut album "Mellow Gold," Beck’s creative evolution has always progressed at an exponential rate. From 1996’s multi-platinum cultural touchstone "Odelay" to 1998's world-tripping "Mutations" and the florescent funk of 1999's "Midnite Vultures," 2002's somber "Sea Change," 2005's platinum tour de force "Guero" and 2006's sprawling "The Information," 2008's acclaimed "Modern Guilt," 2014’s album of the year Grammy-winning "Morning Phase," 2017’s "Colors," and 2019's "Hyperspace," no Beck record has ever sounded like its predecessor.

More recently, Beck has been delving deep into his acoustic roots, playing intimate and unique one-man shows highlighting the pure songcraft of his standards and the rarities throughout.
