Yaelokre at Howard Theatre, Washington

Yaelokre, the Filipino-Icelandic artist Keath Ósk, brings a beguiling fusion of folk, surrealism, and pop to Washington. Their live show transports audiences into the fictional world of Meadowlark, where four masked children—Cole Seymour, Clémente Dearworth, Peregrine August, and Kingsley—perform as The Lark, representing mythical beings of nature, wonder, and chaos.

Each song is a lesson drawn from Yaelokre's own life, with the four characters embodying different stages of childhood. The storytelling is richly personal, weaving poetry and fable into an immersive, escapist experience. Joined by fellow folk musician Ben Caplan, the evening promises a captivating journey through sound and narrative.

Attendees can expect an intimate yet grand performance that resparks belief in music's capacity for surprise. Yaelokre's artistry—spanning music, intricate artwork, and narrative—creates a uniquely visionary show that resonates long after the final note.
