KDNL.: Soul Sunday

The Soul Sunday series, hosted by Debra James Tucker, continues with Kenneth Eaddy, known as KDNL., who has a near 15-year history of performing in and around the Central Ohio area. A true multihyphenate: Singer, dancer, thespian, educator, entrepreneur, and activist. Recently they were a part of Brother(hood) Dance’s Black On Earth, an immersive and interactive work that integrated dance, agriculture, and technology to tell the history of Black Farmers. KDNL. has also lent their vocals on the Say It Loud Columbus 2020 album Music for the Movement, Vol. 1. Eaddy also currently serves as a mentor for the Music Columbus Better Together Music Incubator program and is the Festival Coordinator for the Columbus Arts Festival, produced by the Greater Columbus Arts Council.

A coded message with directions to AMPLIFY, KDNL.’s juke joint in the Lowcountry (Gullah Geechee) region of South Carolina, their haven where allies, nomads, queers, and vagabonds alike can enjoy music, dancing, and each other has been sent out: “b.FREE, bring two. have fun, b.YOU“. Come experience a compilation of R&B, Soul, Gospel, and House influences that are interwoven into the fabric of KDNL. 

The unique sound of vocalist Debra James Tucker is a product of extensive training in jazz, classical and gospel music. Her new album is “Voices”, which continues her exploration of early black church forms in contemporary contexts. She is the writer/performer of the one woman show Survival of the Boulevard Singer—winner of an Ohio Arts Council Award for Individual Excellence, has been a visiting instructor at Denison University in the history of African American Gospel Music, and an artist in residence with several youth arts organizations.
