The Kukes

Description

The Kukes

For fans of The Beatles, Neil Young, Anne Murray, and Chatham County Line.

This kooky outfit serves up super tight reversions that span the rich history of country, folk and pop with equal measures of sincerity and humour. The Kukes deliver satisfying vocal harmonies and most members are multi-instrumentalists: often swapping double bass for electric, accordion for whistle or ukulele for banjo, making a timbral carousel of each performance. From Cab Calloway to The Fratellis, unbounded by the context of their source material, The Kukes are able to conjure arrangements that consistently communicate their own identity better than the authors’.
