Best part of living in a city like Chicago is that you can always expect a normal night to turn into an amazing experience. I got to know about KK King through a dear friend of mine. He asked me if I wanted to go and see her perform which of course I said yes. I was looking forward to listening to some good music and spend some quality time with my friend but I had no idea what to expect and I surely was blown away. It was refreshing to see something so different yet so amazing. The music was great and as well as the images on the screen behind the artist. The sound, the story and the images were all a great way of telling a story to which anyone could relate to in their own way. Kaki King, this amazing young artist has been also admired by Rolling Stone, in which she was included on a 2006 list of "New Guitar Gods" along with 19 others. King was ranked ninth, the only female on the list and also the youngest person on the same. At an early age, she was convinced that her music break would come from drumming, so she started playing in bands in high school. However once she graduated in Atlanta in 1998, she picked up the guitar again and revisited the finger-style techniques that intrigued her as a child. As a long time ovation plater, she was invited to design her own custom guitar, the result being the Adams 1581-kk model.
Whatever mood you are in, don't miss her upcoming shows. It will surely blow your minds away as it did mine.
