Greetings music lovers!
This Fall and next Spring I’m back on the road and headed your way! The Kansas and Back Around tour is gonna be a blast. For a bit of a twist, I’ll be playing 2 sets every night!
This format is largely a result of the fun we’ve been having at our #2ndThursday online shows. These shows have been a real pleasure. It’s been a way for me to stay connected while you waited for me to get through grad school. At last, I survived! I’m a full-fledged Master of Theological Studies from Vanderbilt. YEAH! Thank you all so much for your patience and encouragement.
The online shows have proved to be a fun way to revisit (and re-learn) a lot of old music that I haven’t always taken the time to appreciate. You have been a part of that process – of loving and reclaiming some really wonderful music.
I know you all deeply love the 2.0 stuff, but you’ve never given up making many requests for a lot of the 1.0 (or ‘old stuff’), even though I don’t tend to play much of it at live concert venues. So, this time out, I thought it would be fun to play a lot more to let you get all teary-eyed and nostalgic! That’s right, you’ll get a whole hour of Legacy Knapp to go along with all the latest songs!
In the meantime, Margaret Becker and I have been getting up to our Christmas hijinks this summer and cooking up some new music for this winter. Expect to see a 3-song release this fall! A few Becker/Knapp originals to add to the pantheon of holiday cheer! We’re doing a run of live Christmas concerts this winter as well as an online show as well. So, stayed tuned for more details!
We’ve also been busy ‘behind the scenes’ working on KStreet, our street team. We’ve got some brilliant organizers who are not only trying to spread the word on all things ‘Knapp,’ but are also creatively thinking of unique experiences and community we can do together. Check out the link to sign up here. It’s not only a way to get involved, but it’s also being on the cutting edge of news/shows/and more!
I’m starting to explore the idea of doing songwriting workshop experiences. I’ll be doing one with the stormy David Robert King this October in Georgia. It’s amazing and inspiring to be around so many different folks who think and write in their own unique ways. Not to mention, I’m sure that we’ll all have a blast just jamming together! Space is limited to only 20 people so be quick & sign up here.
Yup! Lots going on…see you ‘out there!’
Lots of love,
Jennifer
