Details of that is forthcoming, but we have a venue and each night will feature special guests, themes and unique set lists. Before that, Kae will be touring Ontario and Quebec, joining Grand Analog in March for a string of dates. A performance at the NuJazz Festival and Canadian Music Week is also planned.In addition, Kae has spent some time at Grant Ave. Studios in Hamilton and emerged with a four song digital acoustic EP, which will be released in February. Our EP Release is planned for February 15th in Hamilton. The track listing and title is yet to be finalized, but expect an acoustic version of 'Living in the City' and a cover track. Lastly, our brilliant friend Isaque Hossian ( www.ihossain.com) has created a video for 'Living in The City' which will be sent to MuchMusic and other sources by the End of The Month. Kae Sun will celebrate that with a video release bash in March. www.kaesunmusic.comwww.myspace.com/kaesunDates:TUE Feb 12 - Vinyl, GuelphHalf Dozen Down Presents BashWED Feb 13 - CBC Radio Performance for Big City/Small WorldAcoustic in StudioFRI Feb 15 - Pepper Jack Cafe, Hamiltonw/ Amanda DavidsEP Release PartyFRI Feb 22 - Clinton's Tavern, Torontow/ iNSiDEAMiND and LouwopNuJazz Festival AppearanceTHR Feb 28 - Mercury Lounge, Ottawaw/ VanderparkFRI Feb 29 - O Patro Vys, Montrealw/ Vanderpark and Pat Lehman BandUpcoming: Dates in March with Grand Analog (www.myspace.com/grandanalog)PRESS:"Imagine K-Os backed by Ben Harper's band and you've got Kae Sun" - Maryam Siddiqi - National Post Canada."Combining elements of jazz, reggae, hip-hop and rock, Sun is transcending genres, all the while bringing a unique depth to his music." - Mike DiRisio - Brock Press"With his backing band blurring the lines between jam bands, soul and hip-hop, Kae Sun incited a hip assortment at the Supermarket" - Aaron Levy - Exclaim!"Kae Sun's style pays homage to some of his influences, which range from Nina Simone, Marvin Gay, Curtis Mayfield to Bob Dylan, and conscious hip hop artists such as Talib Kweli and Common. However, he should not be narrowly defined as a rapper, because his musical collage includes soundscapes that can catch anyone down with hip hop, soul, reggae or folk by surprise." - Johnathan Robinson - Trent ArthurBIO:On the eve of Kae Sun's new EP Release, he was featured on the storefront of iTUNES Canada, both in the 'fabulous indie arrival' section and the 'hip-hop' display.
