Held every Thursday through September 2, these festive events will showcase a different popular local band each week! August 26th is https://www.xoxokmusic.com/ Press: https://artsorange.org/copperline-xoxok/ Bio: Keenan Jenkins’ musical career began during his Ph.D. studies at UNC-Chapel Hill, where he played open mics and local showcases between long days on the third floor of the psychology building. By the time he’d finished his degree, drained and discontent, his musical moonlighting had meanwhile bloomed in full color. He took the cue and dove headfirst into the rich music scene in Carrboro, NC. Jenkins now performs as XOXOK, crafting atmospheric soul music that is conceived on the fretboard, cultivated at the microphone, and cradled in headphones. The guitar and vocal influences are far-flung, but cohesive—see Jeff Buckley, Moses Sumney, and Anna Calvi, among others. His live performance is a model of intimacy and presence; armed with “sweet, ringing vocals” (Queen City Nerve), XOXOK delivers impassioned songs with unabashed conviction. Along with the music, come enjoy delicious food from local food trucks, sweets from Festin Bakery, beer and cider from Armored Cow Brewing, lawn games, and an intimate evening relaxing on the green behind our historic Bull Barn.
