May. 29 FRI
YouTube sensation Kawehi returns home to perform one night only AT THE REPUBLIK MAY 29 AT 8 P.M.
KAWEHI
AT THE REPUBLIK
Don’t let her demure looks deceive you — Kawehi is one musician not to be overlooked. It’s difficult to describe her talent in a nutshell, but you can find Kawehi on YouTube, where she has garnered quite a following — expect a combination of raw talent and synth beats. (She’s the one behind that viral Michael Jackson cover.) Tickets cost $25, with a $5 increase the day of the concert, which is set to start at 8 p.m. jointherepublik.com
