Bar Fluxus Bastille Day Artist Spotlight: Kendra McKinley
Kendra McKinley wants to make you sing. Her voice is prismatic: hold it up to the light one way and you get honeyed seduction; another, raw power; still another, a freshwater stream. If it sounds like the San Francisco singer-songwriter inhabits multiple musical identities, that’s because she does. She wouldn’t have it any other way.
Whether taken in live at The Fillmore (where she performed with the first all-female lineup in 2015), from a seat at the ballgame (her song “Fine As a Vine” is on rotation at Giants games at AT&T Park), or alone in one’s living room with colored pencils and a bottle of wine, McKinley’s songs transport listeners somewhere else entirely. Your best bet is to give in and let go -- to be carried off by her stunning voice, her soulfulness, and her ability to be different characters with different stories, one after another, sometimes in a single song. Kendra McKinley wants to prove it to you. She wants to make you sing.
Catch Kendra performing at our Bastille day block party on Saturday, July 14th.
