mk.gee’s L.A. Performances Spotlight Why He’s a Musician’s Musician


Los Angeles-based musician mk.gee played back-to-back sold out shows at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood.

Los Angeles-based musician mk.gee played back-to-back sold out shows this week at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood, and the performances were no-frills: no opener, no banter, no visuals. If the set could be compared to anyone else’s, it would probably be that of musical polymath James Blake or of Bon Iver’s 22, A Million performances, which have similarly used backlighting and an artful mix of programmed and ad-libbed playing. While I was hoping to hear some tracks from Pronounced McGee and The Museum of Contradiction(2020), mk.gee’s set was much more uniform as simply a showcase of Two Star songs, and I could forgive those exclusions for the sonic consistency this choice brought to the show.
