Kendall Street Company Presented by Live Wire Athens and Aubrey Entertainment UNDER 18 WITH PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN Kendall Street Company Excited to help bring back LIVE MUSIC to Athens, Ga! Live Wire Athens and Aubrey Entertainment have teamed up to help bring live music safely back to Athens, Ga. This concert will take place outdoors in the courtyard at Live Wire Athens. Kendall Street Company is a jam-alt rock band based out of Charlottesville, Virginia. From late night jam sessions at the University of Virginia to main stages at venues and festivals throughout the country, Kendall Street Company has broken the mold of improvised rock and entered a world of jazz-grass infused psychedelic bliss. The band's musical style embraces mind-altering riffs as well as soulful and jazzy wit, while remaining true to their folksy songwriting roots. With no two shows ever the same, word of mouth has quickly grown a ravenous fanbase eager to hear their favorite studio tracks explored and extended as part of a live community. As seasoned KSC fans can tell you, any one of their songs could easily turn from a fun sing-along to a cacophonous headbanging garage-rock soundscape, before finally resolving into a peaceful ambience. Averaging over 100 shows per year since 2013, the band is currently comprised of Louis Smith [Acoustic guitar, vox], Brian Roy [Bass], Ryan Wood [Drums], Ben Laderberg [Electric guitar], and Jake Vanaman [Saxophones, keys]. For such a young band, their accomplishments are commendable. Kendall Street has performed at festivals such as Lockn’, Roosterwalk, Floydfest, Resonance, and Domefest and has opened for acts such as Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Papadosio, Umphrey’s McGee, Tauk, and Leftover Salmon. All the while, the band has proudly released three records and three EPs to regional and national acclaim. Kendall Street Company maintains an ambitious release schedule, with their debut live album The Stories We Write For Ourselves (Live at FESTY) releasing in January 2021, quickly followed by a fun, cheeky double-single I rly luv u just ahead of Valentine’s Day. Heading into 2021 strong with plenty of material from writing sessions throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, KSC plans to release another standalone single, a double LP, and (hopefully!) more live shows and studio musings.
