Schur

New York City-based musician Schur brings his blend of rap, indie pop and alt-hip hop to YES in Manchester on 22 October 2026. Raised in Connecticut, he started on guitar before turning toward contemporary hip hop in college, a path that shaped a sound where sung hooks meet reflective verses. Live, he moves easily between rap cadences and melodic lines, folding guitar textures into modern beats and keeping lyrics front and center, with stories drawn from life between Connecticut and New York.

Influenced by artists like Kanye West, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Logic and Felly, Schur’s catalog runs from early singles such as Gullwing Bravado to The Unsure Mixtape. On stage, that range shows up in tight songwriting, fluid switches from voice to flow, and arrangements that balance riff-led passages with rhythm-forward production. It’s a set built on clarity of writing and a feel for melody, aimed at listeners who like their hip hop colored by guitars and indie pop instincts, delivered with a steady, unshowy presence.
