Beck & Phoenix at Pine Knob Music Theatre

David Hansen, better known as Beck, rose to prominence in the 90s for his experimental and lo-fi style and became renowned for combining musical genres. Among his musical influences are folk, funk, soul, hip-hop, electronic, alternative rock, country, and psychedelia. His jumbling of different music styles and mundane lyrics has turned into eccentric records, which captured people's attention and gained him the notoriety of releasing unexpected albums. His first taste of success was with his single "Loser,' which everyone mistakenly thought of as his "one-hit wonder." He proved everyone wrong when "Odelay" came out in 1997. It received critical acclaim receiving a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album that year. After "Odelay," he released 9 more albums. Another one of his biggest hits is "Sea Change," released in 2002. It has been hailed that Beck is among the most idiosyncratically creative musicians of alternative rock in the 90s and 2000s. In 2022, he was nominated to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
