Post City in the Park: Kat Burns of Kashka

Kat Burns is charming, and more than a little flexible, which helps when our video shoot moves from the very noisy but fun Dufferin Grove Park all the way down to the idyllic shores of Lake Ontario. And lucky thing we did; Burns’ easy-breezy tunes are a perfect fit for the lakeside locale.

We set up shop on a little stretch of rocky shoreline in Sunnyside Park, far away from the hubbub of the massive pool filled with the sounds of summer (kids screaming) yet surrounded by a surprisingly high number of curious waterfowl.

Burns is, of course, the creative force behind the now-defunct Forest City Lovers and her new(ish) project Kashka, which released their second album Bound late in 2013. She is also set to embark on her first solo tour, details of which are on her website.

For this video, Burns plays the lovely song “Grain Of Salt,” off Bound. Enjoy!

This is the fourth video in our series, which kicked off with Current Swell in Christie Pits, followed by The Strumbellas at Evergreen Brick Works and Tony Dekker in High Park. They’re kinda great, so check them out.
