Info:
Kaki King is composer, virtuoso guitarist, insatiable visionary, and a true music iconoclast. Golden Globe nominated for her soundtrack contributions on Sean Penn's Into the Wild, she has numerous recording, film and TV music projects to her credit.
Hailed by Rolling Stone as "a genre unto herself," the Brooklyn-based musical changeling has released eight distinctive albums to critical acclaim over the past 13 years, performed with such icons as Foo Fighters and Timbaland, and played to an increasingly fervent following of music lovers on tours of every continent. Performance stages have included the Kennedy Center, MoMA, LACMA and The Met.
On Saturday, March 31, 8:00 p.m. at the Firehouse Arts Center Theater in Pleasanton, Kaki will perform her ground-breaking multimedia show, "The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body," deconstructing and redefining the role of solo instrumental artist though "virtuoso technique, insatiable imagination, and boundless humanity." It has been described as "provocative and moving, surprising and beautiful."
The new-concept performance uses projection mapping to "present the guitar as an ontological tabula rasa in a creation myth unlike any other, where luminous visions of genesis and death, textures and skins, are cast onto an Ovation Adamas 1581-KK Kaki King Signature 6-String Acoustic guitar customized specifically for this production."
"The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body" was produced in collaboration with Glowing Pictures (best known for their work with such artists as Animal Collective, David Byrne & Brian Eno, Beastie Boys, and TV On The Radio). An album of the same name, featuring the soundtrack from the show, is also available on Spotify, iTunes, and most music retailers and streaming services.
"I've never seen anything like it... a sumptuous feast for the senses, a dizzying display of sound and vision by a guitarist already renowned for her innovation... I repeat: Do not miss this." - Boston Globe
