SUMMARY:An Evening With KUN
DESCRIPTION:Multi-hyphenate artist KUN (蔡徐坤) — singer\, producer\, and fashion icon — has officially announced his first U.S. headling show of the year. The global pop sensation will be taking the stage in Los Angeles on August 2nd\, at legendary venue The Fonda Theater\, bringing his signature flair and electric on stage act to the west coast for the first time as a headliner.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis intimate show will not only serve as a birthday celebration for KUN\, but a celebration of the fans who have supported him up to this point\, showcasing his musicianship and passion for his craft throughout the night. Those in attendance will also get the opportunity to get a preview of KUN’s new music set to release later this year\, reminding fans how he is only just getting started.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis exciting announcement comes on the heels of this recently released single\, “Deadman.” Blending modern production with classic soul and vintage rock influences\, “Deadman” is a guitar-driven track that showcases KUN’s dynamic vocal range\, moving effortlessly between delicate falsetto and full-bodied belts. The emotionally charged performance captures themes of passion\, longing\, and reinvention\, marking a striking new sonic direction for the chart-topping artist. KUN recently played the hard hitting single for the first time live at the renowned Head In The Clouds Festival as part of the event’s epic grand finale. The release of “Deadman” marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for KUN with new music and additional releases throughout the summer. \n\n\n\nKUN first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Chinese boy group Nine Percent and has since emerged as a defining voice in global pop. Known for his warm\, expressive vocals and keen production sensibilities\, he has earned widespread acclaim not only as a performer\, but also as a songwriter and producer. His hits – including “Wait Wait Wait” (directed by Grammy-winner Dave Meyers)\, “Rebirth” (in collaboration with top DJ KSHMR)\, and “Afterglow” – have broken streaming records and garnered major accolades\, including the Tencent Music Chart Golden Single and the Billboard Global No. 1s China Representative title. With a rapidly growing international fanbase\, KUN continues to expand his influence and artistry on the world stage. KUN will be performing at The Fonda Theater on August 2nd. \n\n\n\nTickets on sale now at KunOfficial.

SUMMARY:Joshua White
DESCRIPTION:“Engaging in conversation with piano colossus Joshua White is somewhat akin to experiencing one of his live performances. There will be a natural\, if unpredictable arc\, it will behoove and reward the witness to pay close attention at all points. It can careen from one topic to the next\, but it will highlight a unifying mosaic of intellectual curiosity\, profound understanding of tradition\, and an exhilarating sense of freedom. Like most opportunities in life–it is helpful to jettison your expectations and embrace the moment. \nOne of the qualities I cherish most in an improvising musician (Mr. White avoids the term “jazz\,”) is audacity–that sense of disbelief that can make the listener laugh out loud\, marveling over a defiance of expectation. All of the great pioneers of the African—American musical tradition exemplified this attribute. I don’t know what else to call it besides genius\, and Joshua exudes that quality at every turn.” \n-Robert Bush\, Troubadour \n***Please arrive early\, stop by the Friends of the Library table to receive your FREE ticket and take your place in line. First come. First served. No standing room available.***
