About
KISHI BASHI IN CONCERT:
Singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Kaoru Ishibashi has become a familiar face on stages around the world as a touring violinist for acts Of Montreal and Regina Spektor, but lately it's his solo indie rock project Kishi Bashi that has fans jamming out. His kaleidoscopic tunes mix lush violin, exotic Far East elements, swirling vocal harmonies, and electronic touches to create a brilliant and unique sonic world full of soaring melodies and head-spinning rhythms. At his live shows he brings buoyant tunes like "Bright Whites" and "Atticus in the Desert" to life with the help of a looping pedal and a full band including drums, banjo, and guitar, treating fans to dynamic performances that always get them moving and smiling.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Seattle-born, Virginia-raised Kaoru Ishibashi began playing the violin at age 7 and continued studying the instrument after high school at Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music. In 2002 he moved to Brooklyn and formed the synthpop outfit Jupiter One with guitarist Zac Colwell. The band self-released several limited edition records in the mid-'00s, and in 2008 they dropped a self-titled debut album that landed them on tour with Regina Spektor. While on the road Ishibashi met Of Montreal founder Kevin Barnes, and joined him as a member of Of Montreal's touring band in 2010. The following year he returned to his parent's home in Virginia to begin recording his solo debut as Kishi Bashi. The result was 2012's 151a, a critical success that earned praise from NPR and received placement in commercials for Windows, Sony, and car company Smart. After a 2013 tour of the US and Europe in support of the release, Ishibashi issued his second album as Kishi Bashi, 2014's Lighght. The album peaked at No. 52 on the Billboard 200, a huge feat for a niche indie artist and cause for celebration among his loyal fanbase.

by BeckyD on 4/10/22Delmar Hall - Saint LouisIt was the 10 year anniversary of 151A and they played the WHOLE THING. And an additional 10 or more songs! I absolutely loved every minute of it.

by Jen on 4/5/22Madison Theater - CovingtonA truly incredible concert. Tall Tall Trees and Kishi Bashi were clearly thrilled to be performing and the audience was equally thrilled to be sharing in the experience. Fantastic all around and such a joy to be a part of it.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Perfection at its finest
by Ron on 4/4/22Madison Theater - CovingtonEvery time I see Kishi Bashi live three things happen: 1. People cry because his musical performances are so raw and beautiful and powerful. 2. Someone around me says this is the best live show I’ve ever seen. 3. He is better than the previous time I’ve seen him. I mean I’ve been to probably 300 various concerts in my lifetime and two of his shoes are in my top ten, one being number one. And he’s not even my favorite artist, not even top five. That’s how good he is.

by Britt on 4/4/22Madison Theater - CovingtonMy husband and I are avid concertgoers and when we saw that not only was Kishi Bashi coming to the area, but he was performing at the Madison Theater -it was a no-brainer! The theater was so accommodating, had lots of restaurants and a beautiful hotel nearby. It made for an amazing night. We knew Kishi Bashi would be an awesome show but he was even better than we expected! Such a great night!

by S. K. on 10/29/19Delmar Hall - Saint LouisKishi Bashi's music is on a wholly other level. Every song's lyrics touch in a very personal way. Poetry and intricate sound and emotion and a little darkness combine, and the result is simply magic. And the encore - I saw many brushing away tears. It was an emotional, primal experience: A man in our midst, performing so simply and honestly.

by Walkerhound on 11/10/17Sixth & I - WashingtonKishi Bashi is brilliant, and a nice person to boot. This was the best rock performance I have ever attended. Kishi Bashi has his own style, but I heard hints of everything from Nashville country to soul to disco, and more. Tall Trees complemented his work beautifully. His acoustic encore (performed in the middle of his fans) was great fun.
