One of the top-selling independent hip-hop artists in the state, Epiphany, will perform a free concert in the Arkansas Educational Television Network studios Tuesday, March 25, at 7 p.m. for an upcoming episode of "AETN Presents: Front Row."

The public is invited to this free performance, which will be taped for an April 16 broadcast premiere. Anyone interested in being part of the audience is asked to R.S.V.P. at www.aetn.org or weekdays at 1-800-662-2386 by Monday, March 24, and arrive at the studio by 6:30 p.m. on March 25.

Chane Morrow (Epiphany) was born in New Jersey, moved to Pine Bluff at the age of eight and earned his mechanical engineering degree from Stanford before switching gears and jumping into the world of hip-hop. He then moved to New York, met his business partner Brian Rikuda (BDot, winner of BET’s "Ultimate Hustler" reality show) and formed Conduit Entertainment.

Epiphany returned to Arkansas to pursue hip-hop and in 2003 debuted his first album, "1st of a Dying Breed," becoming one of the top rappers in the state. He has since recruited four bandmates and a vocalist to form a sound that is a fusion of hip-hop, soul, rock and jazz.

Joining Epiphany in the AETN studios will be vocalist Regina Gulley (Gina Gee), Oliver Thomas (OT) on bass, brothers Jonah Hill on keyboard and Frank Hill on drums, and Joe Beck (6 String) on lead guitar.

"Epiphany writes material that’s geared towards existential concerns just as often as it is to the ladies," Lindsey Millar of "Arkansas Times" has reported of the group. "It’s refreshing to see a rapper conflicted, willing to mix self-deprecation in with the bombast."

"AETN Presents" features a variety of arts and cultural subjects. Previously included in the series have been the Arkansas Acoustic Festival; performances by the Cate Brothers, Trout Fishing in America, the Rodney Block Jazz Trio, Wildwood and Sara Thomas and Lost & Found; and "On the Same Page" with authors Buzz Bissinger, Billy Collins, John T. Edge and Kenneth L. Smith.

The Arkansas Educational Television Network (www.aetn.org) provides lifelong learning opportunities, improves and enhances Arkansans’ lives and celebrates the unique culture of Arkansas through its programming and services.
