Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Kaki King’s 2003 debut album, Everybody Loves You, Kaki King will be touring a new show based on the music of this record. The show will include fan-favorites like Night After Sidewalk, Fortuna, and many other beloved songs. In this new show, Kaki will share never-heard stories about making Everybody Loves You, reflect on the impact of this record, and mull over the meaning of 20 years as a particular milestone.
“Simply put, Kaki King possesses the most original voice on the acoustic guitar in a generation. Her sound, full of gorgeous tapped melodies and popping basslines, is as deeply emotional as John Fahey’s, as technically savvy as Preston Reed’s, and as energetic as Leo Kottke’s”
— Allmusic critic Thom Jurek (one of the first reviews of Everybody Loves You).
The Rolling Stone Magazine has called Kaki King “a genre unto herself”, and the New York Times has shared that Kaki King makes music as “ornate as a healing crystal”. With a star-studded career that has spanned two decades, Kaki King continues to live at the forefront of guitarists and performance-makers. In her past, she has collaborated with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and toured with Natalia Lafourcade, contributed music to Sean Penn’s Into the Wild (which won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score), and performed in spaces as diverse as the Kennedy Center, Mass MoCA, the London Jazz Festival, NYUAD Arts Center, and beyond.
