First Friday at the Barnes

Enjoy an evening of art, live music, cocktails, and light fare at The Barnes' monthly First Friday mixer.

This February 6th experience features the genre-defying sounds of Küf Knotz & Christine Elise, a dynamic duo blending hip-hop, soul, classical, and new age influences. Named best rapper in Philadelphia magazine’s 2022 Best of Philly list, Küf Knotz is known for his spiritually charged lyrics and lo-fi, boombox-era beats. He has opened for Bruce Springsteen, the Roots, and Lauryn Hill, among others. Christine Elise is a classically trained harpist, pianist, and vocalist with a background in music therapy. Her ethereal harp and soulful vocals elevate the duo’s sound into a transcendent experience. Küf Knotz & Christine Elise have toured across North America, with appearances on NPR Music and Sugarshack Sessions.
