Kishi Bashi Tickets

This guy has talent that will knock your socks off. He writes all his own songs and plays multiple instruments. My wife and I saw him last night at the Music Farm in downtown Charleston. The venue is unique and the staff is great. Its a romantic atmosphere for a date night concert being in a small venue.

Absolutely fantastic show! Audience was totally mesmerized at times!

There is no part of a Kishi Bashi concert that does not impress. From the collaborating musicians supporting his new works, to the tried and true companionship of Tall Tall Trees, the depth of the musicality on stage is something to live in awe of. This was my 4th time seeing Kishi Bashi live, and I live for these performances. They are intimate, heart felt, joyous, and important. Thank you for sharing your gifts and vision with us, Kaoru. You're music has been light in a tremendously dark time.

What’s left to be said about the musical genius, Kishi Bashi? His poetic and gorgeous lyrics will stun and amaze you. His incredible voice and vocal range will leave you in tears. He is a genuine performer who mixes in verified bangers and slower, more intimate songs. He is one of the last few rockstars, in my opinion.

I've seen every Philadelphia Kishi Bashi show, dating back over a decade, and this was perhaps his best show yet, which is really saying something.

Kishi and his band (Sweet Loretta) beautifully performed diverse songs from all different periods. There were rocking moments as well as touchingly intimate ones (a midstream solo set featuring Kishi’s expert looping skills, and an acousic encore performed in the middle of the sold out standing audience solely by the lights of audience phones). Also the performers and audience maintained positive attitudes during an extended break due to an audience member who fainted. All in all a wonderful memorable show!

His performance had me thinking about time on a massive scale. How did we go from cave people to a man creating that music. Bach and a song he performed are two rare occasions that I’ve been brought to tears. It was unreal.

K and his friends always put on a great show And I will always get a ticket when they are in town. The omoiyari is definitely a must see! I was brought to tears. After listening to his music for over 10 years I can honestly say that you will most likely enjoy every second.

Excellent film weaving K's personal story of being bicultural Japanese and American, the Japanese American incarceration history, and the power of music and activism to find greater belonging in social justice movements. Great performance, except for those of us in the balcony who couldn't see when the band went out into the aisle for the last few songs.

Love Kishi Bashi's music, and saw him at the Fillmore last year where he was incredible. This event, between the screening, the Q&A, and the album run-through, felt like it didn't really do justice to any of the parts - especially not the music or the Q&A. K's cello accompanist read the questions from a little iPad and was not really able to articulate the questions clearly, and K didn't seem focused on the questions as they were being asked between songs in the album performance. The sound quality of the music felt off and, generally, K didn't sound nearly on the level that he did when I saw him previously, and it made me sad that this amazing album was done kind of messily. The Castro Theater is at least well set up to screen movies, so the quality of the screening was good, though the documentary itself was a little all over the place and didn't feel that fresh on any of the topics (immigrant identity, internment, Trump-era immigration policies) that were addressed (and combining them all into one movie didn't give that much new perspective either in my opinion). Hate to give Kishi Bashi a bad review but also feel like he wasn't setting himself up for success on this.
