[POSTPONED: March 25, 2020] Ásgeir/Khushi
March was going to be a very busy concert month for me. I have wanted to see Ásgeir for a few years. He came around back in October 2017 to do a seated show at Union Transfer, but I was busy that night so I missed it.
Now he was back, playing at Underground Arts, and I was really looking forward to it.
I don’t know how easy it is for Icelandic artists to reschedule concerts, but I hope that it’s not too troublesome for him to redo this tour.
I had never heard of Khushi. An NPR article tells me that he is
Kalim Patel a Grammy-nominated producer who has worked with James Blake on Assume Form, which was nominated for best alternative music album. Now, he’s releasing a full-length album of his own music as Khushi, a childhood nickname and a Hindi word for “happiness.” His new album is called Strange Seasons, and he thought it might never come out… it took him ten years to make it.
It turned out to be the eighth of dozens of shows cancelled or postponed by the coronavirus.
Obviously, my main concern is for everyone’s safety, including the bands!
My selfish concern though is that once the shows are rescheduled that all of these shows will be scheduled on the same day!
Let’s hope the rescheduled dates also do some social distancing.
