This is a seated show.

Scottish singer/songwriter Kenny Anderson, whose vast catalog of work encompasses folk, indie rock, ambient, and various forms of experimental pop. Hailing from the seaside council of Fife, Anderson was the linchpin of a burgeoning local scene that also included artists like James Yorkston and KT Tunstall, who joined him as part of the Fence Records collective. Working under the King Creosote name since the late ’90s, Anderson established himself as a prolific D.I.Y. artist, hybridizing his unique take on indie folk and rock on numerous CD-R releases before finding a more official outlet with Domino Records. Mid-2000s albums like KC Rules OK and Bombshell earned him a wider audience ahead of 2011’s Diamond Mine, his Mercury Prize-nominated collaboration with Jon Hopkins. In between smaller, more experimental releases, were significant works like his 2014 documentary soundtrack From Scotland with Love and 2016’s Astronaut Meets Appleman. After a lengthy gap, King Creosote returned in 2023 with the sprawling and eclectic I DES.
