Kate Tempest

Buzzy Brit rapper, poet and playwright Kate Tempest's unassuming demeanor belies her audacious nature and capabilities. Her latest album, Everybody Down, was nominated for the Mercury Prize—the UK's top musical honor. During her shows, she tells stories and tackles big issues with a rap-spoken word hybrid, backed by a live band and dance troupe. The prolific multihyphenate from South London will bring her arresting celebration of the spoken word to the Echo for an intimate performance.
