If you’re ever in downtown Louisville and happen to see Kharisma be sure to stop what you’re doing and give him a listen or two. I was walking to the Riot Cafe and heard someone singing with real passion and playing guitar with equal feel to boot. Kharisma was nice enough to let me film him play and then chatted with me a little bit afterwards. I gave him a couple dollars but would have gladly dropped a five or ten had I had it on me.
A lot of times folks walk by street musicians almost as if going out of their way to get past them. Don’t do that! Treat yourself to some great music and support street artists, whatever their craft may be.
There’s something about a great voice and a rich guitar sound that can truly brighten your day. It’s also totally unexpected amidst the hustle and bustle of the fast-paced downtown mindset. I highly recommend you stop and take in the music.
And who knows, you might discover a star before they break big. I could totally see Kharisma playing a club, bar, or theater. Then again, some street artists may not want the constraints of playing a venue. Sometimes playing on a sidewalk is more about performing for the pure love of craft than anything else.
Kharisma is a fantastic artist who can write his ticket, but don’t take my word for it, watch the video and listen for yourself! If you run into him, please show some love. Thanks for reading!
