Concert and Pop Up with Kendra McKinley

Saturday, January 21st

1-4 pm
Kendra McKinley is a musician and fabric painter based in the Hudson Valley. Her lush blend of chamber pop, jazz, and soul bursts with vibrance, sensuality and wit. Whether she’s performing solo with a guitar and loop pedal or dancing with a full live band, Kendra’s confident, honeyed voice indulges all who hear it.

Amidst pandemic lockdown malaise, McKinley started drawing the faces of missed loved ones on her clothing with a sharpie. Something clicked, she ordered a pack of fabric paint and began to transform her wardrobe into a bold, graphic series of wearable art.

As a performing musician, the visual element of McKinley’s live show has always been carefully curated, and wearing hand-painted clothing became an extension of that aesthetic vision. McKinley then began doing one of a kind painted clothing commissions for friends and fans.

If you are interested in having your clothing painted, contact Kendra at mckinleykendra@gmail.com. Most clients submit a garment they already know fits them, and McKinley then creates a mockup of the design for their approval. The fabric paint is machine washable, so you can wear and wash your piece freely!

Refreshments, snacks & bites by Fichi will be served.
