THANK YOu FOR MAKING KöRTFEST MÄGICAL.

LISTEN TO KöRTFEST.

This playlist features tracks from the artists who performed at Körtfest I & II, other tracks by breakout Oakland artists, some songs we’ve been grooving to lately, and some all time favs. And just so happens to make a perfect soundtrack for flipping through the photos below.

MADELINE KENNEY

The photographer was outside shooting the portraits above during our opening act. So in lieu of photos, here’s the music video for Madeline Kenney’s beautiful song “Scoop” off the music video from her new album “Kiss from the Balcony” for your viewing and listening pleasure. Pause Spotify and give yourself a treat and watch it all the way through.
