Joe Kye & the Givers is violinist-looper / singer-songwriter Joe Kye’s original music project, with songs inspired by Kye’s immigrant upbringing. A unique blend of jazz-pop, hip-hop, and Korean traditional music, Joe Kye & the Givers’ sound is distinctly original yet familiar, like blasting through outer space only to arrive at your childhood home. The project blurs genres and geographies, arriving at a transnational sound that grooves as hard as it pushes against boundaries. Energetic and emotional, joyful and virtuosic, Joe Kye & the Givers leave audiences “believing anew that something glorious awaits the lovers, the dreamers, and you” (Willamette Week). 

 Joe Kye & the Givers debuted in 2022 at the inaugural Tiger Tiger Festival in Portland, Oregon. 2023 brings highly anticipated shows along the West Coast followed by recording sessions for their debut album, slated for release in early 2024.
