A one-night-only celebration of the life, music, and enduring legacy of Lonnie Liston Smith.
On September 13, 2026, Cosmic Echo Live will take over Richmond’s historic Hippodrome Theatre for a one-night-only celebration of the life, music, and enduring legacy of Lonnie Liston Smith, the legend whose sonic innovations helped define cosmic jazz and became foundational to rap, hip hop, and global DJ culture.
With Lonnie joining the celebration in person, the evening will bring together members of Butcher Brown alongside Mad Skillz, Plunky, Michael Millions, Nickelus F, Ronnie Luxe, Ohbliv, and other special guests, bringing music from across his extraordinary career to life on stage.
More than a traditional tribute concert, Cosmic Echo Live will combine live performances with the stories behind Lonnie’s music and exclusive footage from Cosmic Echo, the upcoming feature-length documentary currently in production on his life and legacy.
Produced in collaboration with Shockoe Records, The Sunroom, RVA Magazine, VA Hip Hop Foundation, and Grammy Award-winning artist Michael Millions, Cosmic Echo Live is a collective celebration of one of Richmond’s most consequential musical icons.
