An electrifying fusion of sound, storytelling and pure energy.

With his violin in hand, the indie-rock artist weaves together lush, layered melodies that pulse with life. His music stretches across boundaries—symphonic folk, Brazilian jazz, 70s funk, orchestral rock and Japanese city pop—blending them into something new. With a backup band that is pure energy, Kishi Bashi's songs create an immersive, one-of-a-kind experience.

In his latest album Kantos, the California-based multi-instrumentalist otherwise known as Kaoru Ishibashi, explores the possible end of humanity as we know it in a party album; at turns deeply unsettling and sublimely joyful.

Don't miss a screening of Omoiyari: A Song Film by Kishi Bashi about WWII-era Japanese incarceration and what it means to be a minority in America today.
