Leon Vynehall Announces US Live Debut with 3 Nights at NYC's Iconic The Kitchen, Other DJ Dates as well

In June Leon Vynehall's released his debut album Nothing Is Still, via Ninja Tune which included singles "Envelopes (Chapter VI)," "Movements (Chapter III)" (and stunning accompanying videos directed by Young Replicant here). Following the release, Vynehall presented his debut immersive live show with a three night, sold out run at Hackney Showroom which Clash described as, "a remarkable, transportive performance."

Today he has announced his debut US live dates which include a three night run at New York City's iconic The Kitchen, one of New York City's oldest nonprofit spaces, showing innovative work by emerging and established artists across disciplines. Since its inception, The Kitchen has been a powerful force in shaping the cultural landscape of the United States, and has helped launch the careers of many artists who have gone on to worldwide prominence. The Kitchen's 155-seat black box performance space will serve as the ideal debut for Vynehall's Stateside live performance.

Having already worked with Blue May, the Mercury Music Prize and Brit Award Nominated producer/mixer/musical director who mixed Nothing Is Still, Vynehall and May have worked closely to reimagine the album as a live performance bringing in some of London's top musicians from the leftfield and jazz scenes including Sam Beste - Piano/Synth, Rob Mullarkey - Bass/Double Bass and Will Ritson - Drums/Percussion with Vynehall sitting at the core as a master of manipulation on Synth/Drum Machines/Guitar and a somewhat dilapidated Lap Steel.
