Live concert performance by R&B and electronic music artist Kelela at The Underground.
Kelela is playing The Underground on Wednesday, October 14, as part of her new avatar live tour. It's a mid-week show, so if you're planning to be there, you'll want to keep the date in mind—it's a Wednesday night, not a weekend one.
The tour title, new avatar live, points to the new material she's bringing to the stage. Kelela has built her name on a specific kind of electronic R&B—slick, club-ready production paired with a voice that can cut right through it—and this show is built around that latest iteration. The set focuses on the new work, though she's known for pulling in songs from her earlier records, so you'll likely hear the newer stuff alongside the older tracks that helped her build her following.
It's a single-bill night, with Kelela as the sole feature on the program. That means the whole evening is hers, from the first song to the last, rather than a shared bill with an opening act. If you've seen her before, you know the set usually moves from the more atmospheric, slow-burn moments into the heavier, dance-floor side of her sound, and this tour follows that same trajectory.
