April 2023: We've been quietly toiling away in the studio on our next set of recordings, with plans to release them hopefully this spring. But now we're transitioning to rehearsing for our upcoming spring and summer shows. Check out our Shows Page to see when and where we're playing near you. We're especially excited for our show on April 13 in the courtyard in front of the Bankhead Theater. As Executive Director of Livermore Performing Arts, Chris held off on booking his own band for the Courtyard Concerts series for three years, but staff and patrons finally pressured him into it. We're excited to play a show of only our own original music. Come out and support us, and get your tickets early!

LIVERMORE – Chris Carter, the man at the helm of the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center (LVPAC) for the past six years, turns out to also be an accomplished performing artist in his own right.
Carter, the executive director of the nonprofit Livermore Valley Arts (LVA), which manages the Bankhead Theater and the Bothwell Arts Center, and his band, the LK Project, will perform just a stone’s throw from his office from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, July 18. The group will be featured musicians at the new Independent Art Gallery in the historic Bank of Italy Building at the corner of First Street and South Livermore Avenue, home of The Independent newspaper. The band will provide entertainment for visitors to the gallery’s current exhibit “Brushed by the Light,” featuring Jamal Iacono. Admission is free. --Continued
