CRITIC’S PICK

Kaki King, Eddie Owens Presents at Red Clay — This is a homecoming of sorts for Atlanta born and raised inventive guitarist King. Initially she was hailed as an exciting younger player who pushed the boundaries of the instrument with various tapping and percussive ways of creating music. But an eight year break between albums (2012-2020) and nothing since has slowed the momentum, though not her popularity. Regardless, she’s back with what appears to be a multi-dimensional show that meshes music with experimental and genre-pushing video adding powerful and unusual visual layers to her already innovative playing. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Dubbed by Rolling Stone as "a genre unto herself," Brooklyn, NY-based Kaki King has proven to be just that.
Her career has taken her all over the world, sharing stages with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, contributing music to award-winning films (Sean Penn's Into The Wild), and performing at the Kennedy Center, the London Jazz Festival, and the Paris Les Femmes s'en Melent.
Her explorations into the guitar and multimedia have led to the creation of groundbreaking work such as The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body, Modern Yesterdays, SEI, and her newest show for audiences of all ages, BUGS.
Kaki continues to create, perform, and lend her musical voice to the forefront of contemporary music.
