Gabriel Kahane will tour solo this April following the popular and critical success of his self-titled album. With a wide range of forms and styles at his disposal, Kahane fashions concerts of songs that draw from literature, imagination, and personal experience, spinning musical threads that are at once both monumental and unassuming.
Praised by Pitchfork for “abandoning pop’s expected patterns”, Kahane’s debut disc is a testament to his catholic musical pursuits.
“There is nobody else within the pop-music sphere making music even remotely as sophisticated as what you’ll hear on ‘Gabriel Kahane’.” says Prefix Magazine of the album. “This is music for the ears, the intellect and the soul, and an auspicious debut LP from one of the most prodigious talents we’ve got.” Greg Sandow of The Wall Street Journal raved, “I’ve seen classical-music professionals go into ecstasies when Mr. Kahane sings these songs live, and the young classical musicians who play with him are completely devoted….Something really good is starting to happen here, and it’s well worth checking out.” Kahane keeps company in all corners of the musical universe, having collaborated with indie rock favorites Sufjan Stevens and Rufus Wainwright as well as with classical stalwarts Jeremy Denk, Hilary Hahn, and Thomas Quasthoff.
