KAINA + Silas Short + Semiratruth

On her recent single "Casita," local singer-songwriter KAINA laments the loss of the tight-knit community of friends and family that she once enjoyed, before a global pandemic upended the world's social circles. It's fitting that KAINA's latest LP, It Was a Home, finds ways to showcase some of her closest friends—including collaborators like Sen Morimoto, drummer Luke Titus and bassist Michael Cantella—throughout a heartfelt collection of R&B and pop tracks outfitted with psychedelic flourishes. Ahead of a European tour, KAINA breaks in her new material with a hometown show at Metro, joined by R&B artist& Silas Short and hip-hop producer Semiratruth.
