SHK Music Presents: Kimon Kirk and the Meds with special guest Chandler Travis at Warehouse XI
Bassist, singer-songwriter-guitarist, and producer Kimon Kirk's 2021 release, Altitude, is his first solo album in ten years. A founding member of local heroes Session Americana, Kimon has been the bassist in Latin Grammy winner Gaby Moreno’s band since 2016. He has toured and written songs with Aimee Mann, toured as bassist for Alejandro Escovedo, Grant-Lee Phillips, and Sarah Borges, and produced albums for Massachusetts favorites Amy Correia and Dennis Brennan. Kimon moved from Boston to Los Angeles in 2018 and has since provided bass and vocals for the likes of Rufus Wainwright, Van Dyke Parks, and Rodney Crowell. At Warehouse XI, Kimon will perform with his longtime Boston band of guitarist Russell Chudnofsky, keyboardist Jamie Edwards, bassist Jim Haggerty, and drummer John Sands, all of whom appear on Altitude and help to create an album that "shines a golden melodic light on the darker corners of the human soul, beguiling the listener onto a higher plane. It’s a combination of penetrating intelligence and unapologetic catchiness that’s rare but shouldn’t be." (The Daily Vault)
“In a world where masterful melodic songwriting and rich, understated production were king, philosopher-poet Kimon Kirk would rule with a velvet fist. Beautifully crafted pop in the Wilson-McCartney vein, via Andy Partridge.” —Alex Rubens, Key & Peele
“A glorious album right out of the top drawer. “ —Fatea Magazine, UK
“A beautiful album that melodically contains exceptionally strong pop songs, often with a reflective slant, but with the irrepressible feeling of the best power pop.” —Heaven Magazine, Netherlands
“Altitude is a tremendous showcase for Kirk’s brand of sophisticated pop.” –Twangville
"Some of the greatest musicians this – or any other – city has to offer, the Meds provide finesse and muscle in the proper proportions. Kimon Kirk’s gorgeous vocals, fantastic musicianship, and terrific songwriting will pull you into a world of smart pop music that will stay with you hours after the show is over.” - Billy Beard

Chandler Travis boasts a colorful career in show business, kickstarting in the seventies with Travis Shook and the Club Wow, a duo that gained popularity on the east coast and graced nationwide television shows like the Tonight Show and the Midnight Special. Travis later co-founded the Incredible Casuals in 1980, releasing four albums and touring globally. In 1988, he embarked on a solo journey marked by a distinctive blend of humor and insightful songwriting, sharing stages with acts like 10,000 Maniacs and George Carlin. His solo career thrived with acclaimed albums like "writer-songsinger" and tours in the U.S. and Europe.
In a surprising turn in 1996, Travis fronted the Chandler Travis Philharmonic, an alternative dixieland/omnipop band, releasing numerous CDs and touring extensively. The Catbirds and the Chandler Travis Three-O emerged in 2013 with contrasting debut albums. Chandler's latest release, "Bocce & Bourbon: the Comfortable Songs of Chandler Travis & David Greenberger," serves as a culmination of three decades, featuring the best tracks and eight new ones across his various projects.
