Burlington, MA – Rounder Records is pleased to announce the signing of singer & guitarist extraordinaire Kaki King. Named a “Guitar God” by Rolling Stone, King has spent the past decade gathering critical acclaim and fan admiration. King received a Golden Globe nomination for her contribution to the musical score of the 2007 film Into the Wild. She also performed on the Foo Fighters’ 2007 Grammy® winning album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace as well as opened for them during their Australia tour.
As with her previous album, 2008’s Dreaming of Revenge, Junior was produced by Malcolm Burn (Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith). Unlike her previous albums where King recorded all the instruments herself, for Junior she enlisted help from mulit-instrumentalist Dan Brantigan and drummer Jordan Perlson. Junior features 11 songs, all written by King.
King has announced Spring tour dates in support of her upcoming album. She will be hitting such markets as New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Nashville, Chicago and Los Angeles just to name a few (see full itinerary below).
