Doing the KHALIKO thing 
 
 
 With nods to hard rock, melodic pop, funk fusion, and improv jazz; our music blends dynamic frequencies and diverse styles into the live performances and recorded sound. For real. 
 Hailing from Atlanta, GA, the band was founded during the pandemic, playing at an outdoor park. The impromptu jams quickly became nights of music celebration, dancing, and togetherness for more than just the surrounding neighbors. After the park jams outgrew the neighborhood stages, we sold out Smiths Olde Bar. It was the venue’s first show back after the Covid lull, and the beginning of the band’s first residency. It’s been nonstop ever since.  
 After releasing our debut album Movement in September 2022, we’ve stayed on the move, traveling regionally and around the nation; most recently opening up for Rome & Duddy at Buckhead Theatre and closing out the third stage at Sweet Water 420 festival. KHALIKO features Sam Epstein on vocals/guitar, Ethan Parks on drums, Elijah Haller on Bass, and Aidan Babuka Black on vocals/keys.
