Kevin Gordon Trio
Kiki's House of Righteous Music 1326 MacArthur Road, Madison, Wisconsin 53714
(past pick) The son of "well-meaning, back-sliding parents," Kevin Gordon is the rare Louisiana-born, Tennessee-based artist who, along the way, embraced a genuine Midwestern muse. While earning his master's degree at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, he fell into scholarship of the musical sort: playing guitar for the mercurial Bo Ramsey, who went on to support and produce Lucinda Williams. Don't be fooled by his academic pedigree, though. Gordon is a gritty, grand storyteller and, now, a genuine Nashville blue blood whose songs have been recorded by Keith Richards and Levon Helm.

from the KHoRM newsletter: July 21, 6 pm (doors at 5) Kevin Gordon Trio, suggested donation $20
No one writes about Louisiana the way Kevin Gordon does. He's currently working on the long-awaited follow-up to 2018's Tilt & Shine, so expect a lot of new songs along with old favorites. Kevin's last show at KHoRM was way back at the beginning of 2020, so his return has been long-awaited as well. Show #400, there will be cake!
As always, all money collected goes to the musicians. Reservations for all shows must be made via righteousmusicmgmt@gmail.com. Once I have confirmed there is room, you can donate in advance by sending a check to Kiki Schueler, 1326 MacArthur Rd, Madison WI 53714 or Venmo to @righteouskiki. There is no parking on MacArthur itself, the best place to park is one block over on Duncan or Ellenwood. Then take the little path up to MacArthur Ct and down the street to my house. Shows are BYOB and I'll have a cooler with ice.
