Renowned guitarist Kaki King recently announced her first new material in over two years, and fans can now get their first listen via WNYC’s Soundcheck . One of King’s most well known solo compositions, “Magazine”, was originally released on her 2004 album Legs to Make Us Longer, and is now given an orchestral makeover by the Porta Girevole Chamber Orchestra. The incorporation of woodwinds and additional strings further adds to the dynamics and building anticipation the track incites. The full album is available for preorder now.
Kaki King Live at Berklee , available September 22, was recorded live at the Red Room at Cafe 939 in Boston in April of 2017, and features King performing new arrangements of her solo guitar compositions, reimagined with the addition of strings and woodwinds. King, Tom Hagerman ofDevotchka, and Berklee students Takuma Matsui and Shereen Cheong wrote the arrangements specifically for the recording.The Porta Girevole Chamber Orchestra is a 12-piece ensemble composed of Berklee students and faculty, conducted by student Gabriela Sofia Gomez Estevez.
BirnCORE , the Berklee Internet Radio Network's ( BIRN ) record label, gives students at the college the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of operating an independent record label. Kaki King Live at Berklee is the label's first release to feature Berklee students and faculty collaborating with a visiting artist. King visited campus several times last spring to rehearse with the ensemble, culminating with the live performance and recording.

Kaki is also heading out for a variety of tour dates this fall, many of which will feature her groundbreaking multimedia show, “The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body.” Provocative and moving, surprising and beautiful, “The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body” uses projection mapping to present the guitar as an ontological tabula rasa in a creation myth unlike any other, where luminous visions of genesis and death, textures and skins, are cast onto an Ovation Adamas 1581-KK Kaki King Signature 6-String Acoustic guitar customized specifically for this production.

“a shockingly gifted, stunningly complex performer who's just slightly out of place in too simple a setting." – LA Times
“Watching Kaki King perform is like seeing guitar-playing for the first time... The effect is of sculpting rather than of playing music.” – NY Mag
"bare, powerful, and propulsive." - KUTX Austin
