NonSeq: Kassa Overall & Corey D. King

QUIET TIME is an immersive live experience by Kassa Overall and Corey King, inspired by the Chapel at Good Shepherd Center. The idea traces back to a familiar childhood moment: long car rides, restless energy in the back seat, and a parent finally calling, “OK… quiet time.” Following the unexpected power outage during Overall’s 2025 Earshot Jazz Festival set at Hidden Hall, which transformed the room into a raw, acoustic listening experience, QUIET TIME expands on that moment of stillness. The performance features acoustic instrumentation, minimal sound reinforcement, and reduced lighting to create an intimate and focused sonic environment. Complete silence is requested throughout the performance, aside from natural moments of response such as applause and crowd participation. Upon entry, guests will receive sealed pouches for their phones.

Kassa Overall is a Grammy-nominated jazz artist, drummer, emcee, singer and producer. He seamlessly blends jazz, hip-hop and avant-garde experimentation into a sound uniquely his own. His music is both innovative and accessible, pushing the boundaries of genre while remaining deeply engaging.

Based in the vibrant musical scenes of Berlin and Seattle, Corey D. King is an acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer, and composer whose extraordinary talent has resonated globally. With a Grammy win in 2021 for co-producing and writing on Esperanza Spalding's groundbreaking album, "Songwrights Apothecary Lab," King has firmly established himself as a creative force.
