In the coming weeks, our sessions will be hosted by none other than MAIN, one of the most versatile artists in our city. For years he’s been a familiar face at BIRD as an MC, rapper, host, and musician. Now he’s ready for a new adventure within our nest. The theme of his residency? Generations. By drawing from the experiences of previous generations and adding inspiration from the future, he creates moments that feel both contemporary and timeless.

His program is a musical journey across genres and generations: from hip hop, jazz, and funk to live performance, acting, and experimental sounds. It’s a platform where different worlds meet, where freedom and expression take center stage, and where music is celebrated as a source of connection, energy, and inspiration.

Generations is a celebration of music, creativity, and timeless moments; an invitation to listen, discover, and experience.
