Kaki King and the California Guitar Trio

[DianeB]

Last night I had the thrill of seeing Kaki King perform in town. She's on tour, a double bill on most dates with the California Guitar Trio. As expected, she used her projector for visual effects with her custom Ovations, and demonstrated her Passerelle bridge, which essentially turns the guitar into a 12-note lyre. The California Guitar Trio has been around for decades, now comprised of Paul Richards, Bert Lams, and recent addition Tom Griesgraber, who plays a Chapman stick. There were terrific originals as well as goosebumping covers of "Jessica" and Ennio Morricone's theme to "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Kaki joined the Trio for the finale:

Wow, what an interesting sound.

Recently I came across one of her videos. She had her guitar tuned to D# minor I didn’t know there was such a tuning. When  I googled her “Dream Pop” came up as her genre, or also know as” shoegazing” two more terms that I’d never heard.
