Laboring quite contently in obscurity for the past 50 years, guitarist Kinloch Nelson is riding a minor wave of recognition with the release of Partly on Time: Recordings 1968 – 1970 on the Tompkins Square Records label. Tune in at 10 p.m. when he joins host Derk Richardson in the KPFA Performance Studio to play his original compositions and talk about the exigencies of his under-the-radar career.
Nelson will also perform at the Tompkins Square 14th Anniversary concert with Kendra Amalie at the Lost Church, 7:30 p.m. Friday, October 25, at The Lost Church, 65 Capp St., SF. And he’ll make an in-store appearance at Open Mind Music at 4 p.m., Sunday, October 27, 5521 College Ave., Oakland.
