OkCello and Khari Cabral Simmons

Okorie 'OkCello' Johnson and Khari Cabral Simmons play Hammonds House Museum on Sunday, October 18, starting at 5 PM. The set is built around three movements, and it changes shape as it goes. It starts with live looping cello, moves into improvisation, and finishes with a full band.

That third movement brings in JIVA, so the evening grows from a single cello building its own layers into a full ensemble. The first two parts—the looping and the improvisation—stay focused on Johnson and Simmons, and the shift to a full band marks the final turn of the night. It's a performance that moves from one instrument to a whole room of them.

Hammonds House Museum is at 503 Peeples St SW in Atlanta. Tickets are $25 for members and $35 for non-members, and the music starts at 5 PM.
