The Intimate, "Deranged Pop" of Songwriter/Composer Gabriel Kahane, Live From The Greene Space


Listen Later

Gabriel Kahane writes classical music and what he called “deranged pop”; his new 2022 album, Magnificent Bird, was written after spending a year off the internet. The results are deeply personal but also a celebration of his musical community. He plays most of the new album as well as songs from his previous album, Book of Travelers, which documented an 8,980-mile railway journey in the aftermath of the 2016 election. Gabriel Kahane and a special guest string quartet perform in an intimate setting in The Greene Space.

Set list: We Are The Saints, Hazelnut Tree/Chemex/To Be American, Baedeker/Baltimore/Little Love (this set from Book of Travelers), Linda & Stuart, Sit Shiva
