Live at The Lot on Thursday, August 19: Kishi Bashi with strings live. Kishi Bashi is the pseudonym of singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Kaoru Ishibashi. Ishibashi has recorded and toured internationally as a violinist with diverse artists such as Regina Spektor, Sondre Lerche, and most recently, the Athens, Georgia-based indie rock band, of Montreal. Kishi Bashi has been invited to play in major festivals such as SXSW and Austin City Limits and gone on an extensive US tour with supporting acts such as The Last Bison. His latest album, Omoiyari (a Japanese word for the idea of creating compassion toward other people by thinking about them), was released in 2019. His Emigrant EP, a very special companion piece to 'Omoiyari' serves as a time capsule of the 2020 condition and a continuation of the concepts explored in 'Omoiyari'. For this unforgettable performance at The Lot, Kishi Bashi will be performing with the Pyxis Quartet.
