Jarrad K
In a town like Nashville, where every musical event is seemingly right at your fingertips, finding
a unique live experience can feel like an impossible dream.
But on July 29th at the world famous Basement East, critically-acclaimed producer and
songwriter Jarrad K invites you to the rarest of rare: a *ONE NIGHT ONLY* intimate
performance that will prove that the “holy-shit-I-have-to-be-there” concert does still exist.
The musical mind behind such modern classic albums as Ruston Kelly’s Dying Star, Elohim’s
Elohim and Travie McCoy’s (Gym Class Heroes) Never Slept Better and songs like Weezer’s
“King Of The World”, Kate Nash’s “Life In Pink” and Goo Goo Dolls’ “Reverse” brings his
seminal 2022 album Progress to “The Beast” stage “for ONE performance...ever” (according to
the famously spotlight averse man himself).
Progress, widely-regarded within the Nashville music community as one of the most important
releases of 2022 stands alone as a stunning work of art in league with other such lo-fi cassette
classics like Elliott Smith’s Self Titled debut and Springsteen’s Nebraska (if The Boss attended
Jewish summer camp in Malibu).
Wielding his trademark savage wit and wry optimism in the face of pain and disconnectedness
(most of the songs on Progress were written during early lockdown days of the Covid 19
pandemic), Jarrad K “brings paper cut slivers of light into the darkness of the human condition
with brutal, pugilistic honesty, laugh out loud, sardonic humor and unnervingly direct heart,
recalling Leonard Cohen, John Prine and Randy Newman...”
Bandcamp’s Ben Salmon called Progress “...a quiet, almost sheepish collection of self-recorded
indie-folk songs about love, loss, fear, doubt, perseverance, and deliverance—it is the sound of
sadness and a studio wizard colliding, basically. Progress is stripped down and dimly lit, but the
emotions that run through these tunes are raw, real, and relatable.”
All of this sound too good to be true?
Come to the Basement East on July 29th and find out for yourself.
Tickets on sale June 14th.
