Kaki King will return to her acoustic roots this fall for a national tour that will make stops at renowned venues such as the Moma in New York City, Yoshi's in San Francisco World Cafe Live in Philadelphia and of course Barking Legs in Chattanooga! Her agency offered this show to ArtFRONT Presentations in Chattanooga, saying, "She has been doing these great intimate shows with up to 10 guitars surrounding her."

King's career has been enthralling, as it has evolved from its virtuosic acoustic busker beginnings in the subways of New York to creating cerebral soundscapes with Tortoise's John McIntyre to being included on Rolling Stone magazine's short list of "Guitar Gods" to collaborations with Foo Fighters and The Mountain Goats. In her 10-year career, King has released five full length albums and two EPs. She has scored for television and film, most notably alongside Eddie Vedder and Michael Brook as composers for Sean Penn's "Into the Wild" for which she received a Best Original Score Golden Globe nomination. King also contributed to the Grammy-nominated August Rush soundtrack, and in 2009, Ovation launched their Kaki King signature guitar model, which is now for sale worldwide. King's latest record, 2010's "Junior" (Rounder Records), was perhaps her most concise artistic statement with a band to date, bringing her unique guitar style into power rock-trio form. Spin awarded the album eight out of 10 stars, and USA Today called the songs "bracing and fascinating." For this phase, King has decided to take all of her musical experiences back to where it all began -- one woman and a guitar, or in this case, a group of guitars.

"Once the contract for this show was in front of me I realized Kaki intends to play a LONG set with a break in the middle. There's a lot of variety in Kaki's guitar & vocal work. If you're just now getting acquainted there are lots of videos online of Kaki playing every style from light & melodic to grunge rock to impeccable jazz. If You're a fan of Kaki King You won't find a more intimate & up close performance to see this established star play in. Tickets are limited so get yours now . ~R.
