Kissy Flick makes its Music in the Park debut with a sound the duo describes as eclectic as Olympia. It’s a blend of Americana, jazz, pop, and roots music that sounds like Jack Johnson himself put it together. Tenino couple James and Kissy Flick met nearly a decade ago. “Our musical collaboration came about pretty organically,” shares Kissy. “James would always be riffing on his guitar around the house, and soon I found myself humming a melody from the other room. Melody gave way to lyrics, and before you knew it we had written an album’s worth of songs.” Their first album, Look @ Life, was released in 2015. The Flicks recorded and produced it themselves. This summer will also find them playing at Olympia Farmers Market and Yelm’s Cosmic Symposium and UFOFest in July.
