On February 27th, catch Christian Kuria at Rise Over Run for ImprompTUES, a chill happy hour to ease you into your week. Curated by Bay Area beat master Giulio Xavier, it’s our Tuesday scene: a live Jazz-infused jam session, Dilla meets Coltrane, featuring musical guests from across the Bay Area, LA, and New York.
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Christian Kuria first attracted attention in 2016 as a hip-hop and R&B guitarist, in part through his EP, Temporary Love. Soon after, he began to weave the sound and essence of his instrument into fully produced covers, recreating popular songs with a unique blend of nostalgic soul and contemporary sounds, later leading Kuria to compose and produce his own original music.
