Kalos

Tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 day of show (plus service charges). They are also available by phone through Hold My Ticket at 505-886-1251.

This show will be in FUSION's smaller theater - The Cell - on the south side of the FUSION campus.

Kalos features Ryan McKasson (fiddle, viola, vocals), Eric McDonald (guitar, mandolin, lead vocals), and Jeremiah McLane (accordion, piano, vocals). As part of their development, all three members of Kalos learned from masters of traditional music (McKasson with Alasdair Fraser, McDonald with John McGann, and McLane with Jimmy Keane). The three are, themselves, masters of tradition who make alluringly complex music full of spontaneous artistry. Pulling from parallel strains of influence in the Traditional music canon, Kalos’ underlying drive and pulse, rhythmic electricity and swirling intensity transform traditional repertoire into a vital, elemental, genre-transcending sound appealing to music lovers of all stripes.

Kalos' debut album, Headland, takes listeners through a range of moods—from poignant yearning to exuberant celebration. Headland, which refers to a point where land meets sea, is a fitting analogy for the exploratory space Kalos inhabits—one that calls forth driving, heartfelt music journeying through unknown territory to seek and find its essence—the enduring, resilient experience of the human heart.
