Küf Knotz & Christine Elise – Summer Concert

In August of 2023, Kuf Knotz & Christine Elise had the honor of participating in the Creative Residency Program at Bloedel Reserve. Time in this space invited the creatives to slow down and focus on the micro movements of nature, studying and documenting the water ripples to dragonfly wings fluttering creating a multimedia video including a composed piece. Kuf and Christine also shot their video “Rotation” on the grounds integrating the beautiful landscapes supporting lyrics talking about various inspirations in life.Their final piece was  a documentary of the creative process to give insight as to how the two videos unfolded across the three weeks. The residency allowed for recharge, inspiration, and growth and will be cherished forever.

Named Philadelphia Magazine Best Rapper of 2022  Küf Knotz (Producer/MC) and Christine Elise (Harpist/Vocalist) have brought their unique blend of hip-hop, soul and classical traditions to various communities. The unlikely pair connected and built a similar bond to creating positive, forward thinking music fusing hip-hop with the boom bap era and lo-fi inspired beats supported by the harp. Their performance takes you on an era fusing, genre bending journey. And, you can dance to it. The duo has opened for Wyclef Jean, Yellowman, Rising Appalachia, Slick Rick, Say She She, Afroman, Wax Tailor (US Tour Support), Liniker, G-Love, Talib Kweli, Ozomatli, Raging Fya, Eubanks & Evans Experience, Digable Planets and have been featured on NPR Music.
