Live at Lunch: XOXOK
October 31 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm
FreeHead on down to Academy Plaza, grab some lunch, and enjoy some local tunes. This concert features Jazz artist XOXOK, the moniker of Durham-based musician Keenan Jenkins, who delivers a forceful live performance that blends intimacy with finesse. Behind him, TJ Richardson (bass) and Joe MacPhail (drums) pull the audience into a deep groove while Gabriel Reynolds (keyboards) floats a pillowy keyscape. Add in Jenkins’ smooth guitar riffs and “sweet, ringing vocals” (Queen City Nerve) sliding effortlessly from a robust tenor to a tender falsetto, and the band has captured you in full embrace.
