Kishi Bashi also lives in Bozeman on and off where he’s played with local drummer, Drew Fleming, who also happens to be The ELM’s General Manager.
Kishi Bashi’s 2012 debut, 151a, helped make him one of indie music’s most in-demand violinists. The song “I Am the Antichrist to You” was featured in the fifth season of Rick and Morty. “Bright Whites” was named one of NPR Music’s 100 Favorite Songs of 2012 and was featured in a commercial for Windows 8.
Since then, Kishi Bashi has released three more solo studio albums, Lighght (2014), Sonderlust (2016) and Omoiyari (2019). All his albums have been released on the Joyful Noise label.

The title of Kishi Bashi’s 2011 debut album, 151a, is a riff on the Japanese phrase “ichi-go ichi-e,” roughly translating to “one time, one place.” That’s exactly what this debut is: A singular time, an inimitable place, a launchpad for bigger and better things to come.
