On September 29th Le Poisson Rouge will host Wax Poetics Records’ third monthly showcase in New York City, featuring their new signee Kendra Morris, a NYC based alt-soul artist The Deli has been covering and praising at least since 2008, when she played our "emerging NYC artists CMJ show". At the time she was playing solo, accompanied by just a… boom box – yes it was VERY lo-fi, and a little bit experimental as well. Today Kendra has expanded her lineup to include a full band, plus a horn section, while her sound and voice have married the Soul cause. This series teams legendary DJs from the pages of the Wax Poetics magazine with Wax Poetics recording artists – on Thursday it will be Brooklyn’s own DJ Premier‘s turn, who produced tracks for Jay-Z, Kanye West and The Notorious B.I.G. amongst others.
