Kaki King To Release New Record, Announces Tour

Singer/songwriter and guitarist Kaki King has a new record coming out. Junior, King's fifth record will be released on April 13.
Junior delivers twists-and-turns: lyrically from exuberance and anger to heartbreaking melancholy; and sonically from experimental pieces to accessible pop. While there is plenty of the dazzling musicianship King has been renowned for, Junior showcases her further maturation as a well-rounded artist who defies categorization and expectations.

"I never made records for other people," she says. "My evolution from record to record has been personal not commercial."
The first leg of King's North American tour has been announced. New Yorkers, just days after the release of Junior, she will be rockin' two dates for us. On April 15, she will be at Music Hall of Williamsburg. The following night, April 16, she will be at Bowery Ballroom.
