Candlelight: 90s Hip Hop on Strings

Candlelight: 90s Hip Hop on Strings at The Link Auditorium

Picture 90s hip-hop without the booming speakers. No rapper on the mic, no original recording artists. Just strings, a glowing room and the songs of a decade you thought you knew by heart, heard in a way you probably never have. That's the idea behind Candlelight: 90s Hip Hop on Strings, coming to The Link Auditorium in St. Louis on November 28, 2026.

This is a listening night, and that's its charm. The format reinterprets 1990s hip-hop on strings, so the music you carried through headphones, car rides and school hallways gets a new voice. Familiar rhythms and attitude meet a quieter, more intimate setting. A candlelit, glowing visual atmosphere frames the evening, giving you a reason to settle in and pay attention instead of just scrolling past another playlist. If the 90s soundtracked part of your life, this gives you a fresh way to revisit it.

It also makes an easy plan to share. Invite the friend who still quotes every verse. Bring a date who likes a night out with a little mood. Gather the group who never agree on dinner but always agree on the 90s. With a 6:30 PM start in St. Louis, you can turn the evening into an outing that's more than another night on the couch. You'll leave with something to talk about, whether that's the moment a favorite melody surfaced or how different it felt on strings. Your nostalgia deserves a better seat than your phone speaker. Secure your spot for this one-of-a-kind take on a legendary decade and grab your tickets for Candlelight: 90s Hip Hop on Strings.
