There is something magical about hearing great soul music in a room built for it, and Phoenix is about to get exactly that. The Musical Instrument Museum’s Music Theater — one of the most beloved concert halls in the Valley — welcomes rising singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Devon Gilfillian for a special evening of soul, R&B, and funk on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
Gilfillian has made a name for himself with genre-bending songs that blend soul, hip-hop, R&B, and rock into something entirely his own. His lyrics celebrate joy, self-empowerment, love, and representation — music with a mission to heal and connect. Critics have praised his unique Nashville sound and called him one of the most accomplished rock and soul artists of his generation. His latest album, Time Will Tell, takes listeners on a sonic journey through rock, funk, and country, with Gilfillian fearlessly open about his own vulnerability.
His live shows are where the real magic happens: captivating, joyful performances that have earned him a devoted following across the country. Expect an evening full of rhythm, heart, and feel-good energy — the perfect midweek escape in the heart of North Phoenix.
The MIM Music Theater is famous for its pristine acoustics and intimate atmosphere, making every seat feel close to the stage. Tickets range from $44.50 to $49.50, and members who give $500 or more annually receive 10% off.
