"If you don't know the name KC Turner, you don't know the bay area music scene." - John Craigie
"I took a shine to KC the first time I met him. I don't know what it was, but he became one of the crew right away. Just gave him my number and said call me anytime and I'll put you on the list. That's a very special quality that I've only seen in a few people and KC's got it in spades." - Bob Schneider
Residing in San Francisco, CA.- KC Turner keeps busy by presenting live music throughout the San Francisco Bay Area; billing shows at venues & coffee houses, producing his own house concert series, hosting 2 open mics, representing & booking a handful of independent artists including Megan Slankard, The Welcome Matt & The Courtney Janes, helping connect people to new local talent, heading a songwriting club and strumming a few of his own songs from time to time.
Turner consistently sells out shows at well respected San Francisco venues such as Cafe Du Nord...packs every house concert he produces & books national tours for a handful of artists...including himself. He has recently partnered with San Francisco radio giant "KFOG" to put on a series of house concerts representing the San Francisco local music scene while also raising money for "Music in Schools Today", a local organization that focuses on funding music education in public schools. In addition he produces an annual showcase at Bazaar Cafe called "Bazaar Stock", which is a free all day event that features 36 local musicians and also helps to raise money for "Music in Schools Today".
KC is genuine and focuses on 1 simple goal when producing his events...he showcases music that to him is above par and simply great. The goal is to establish a name, (KC Turner Presents), that people know they can trust and associate with good quality music worth taking a "risk" on.
Turner’s most talked about claim to fame is the “KC Turner House Concert Series” which has included artists such as: Matt Nathanson, Bob Schneider, Ben Kweller, Steve Poltz, Griffin House, Sean Hayes, The Mother Hips, Hot Buttered Rum, John Vanderslice, Jon Dee Graham, Chuck Prophet, Garrison Starr, Adam Levy, Tom Freund, David Berkeley, Matt The Electrician, The Paper Raincoat, Amber Rubarth, Billy Harvey, Danny Schmidt, Jerry Hannan, – And the list goes on.
