Four-time Grammy-nominated Singer’s Blue Note Tokyo Debut
Emily King, a singer-songwriter from New York, will make her long-awaited debut at Blue Note Tokyo.
King was born into a musical family, as the daughter of jazz singer Marion Cowings and vocalist Kim Kalesti, she already began performing on the New York live scene in her teens and made her debut in 2007 with the album East Side Story. Centered around her guitar-driven style, her music blends influences from hip-hop, soul, and other strands of Black music. Paired with her silky smooth jazz vocals, King has captivated fans around the world.
In recent years she has toured with top artists such as Norah Jones, John Legend, and Robert Glasper, as well as appearing on NPR’s popular “Tiny Desk Concert” series. Now at Blue Note Tokyo, King will deliver a powerful yet intimate acoustic set. The performance will feature Emily King on vocals and guitar; Randy Runyon on guitar, base and backing vocals; and Tim Smith on percussion and backing vocals.
On both performance dates, the first show will open at 17:00 and start at 18:00. The second show will open at 19:45 and start at 20:30.
