Shovel Knight Live: Steel Thy Concert, an epic musical celebration of ten years of digging, is proudly announced by SOHO Live, a Tokyo-based live music company that specializes in creating and presenting live concerts of the most memorable video game and anime music. The concert is organized by Grammy Award-winning artist Charlie Rosen and irrepressible Shovel Knight composer Jake Kaufman.
Loved songs from the Shovel Knight series will be performed live by an orchestra and rock group, taking fans in New York and Los Angeles on an excursion fit for the blue burrower himself. This year marks the indie-mega hit’s tenth anniversary, and there will be a live chat with the developers behind it. Additionally, VIP ticket holders will only be able to meet members of the Yacht Club Games team.
Fans of the venerable Shovel Knight series can anticipate a two-hour personal celebration of ten years of digging, filled with their favorite songs. With lively arrangements by Grammy Award-winning artist Charlie Rosen and effervescent Shovel Knight composer Jake Kaufman, our live orchestra and rock ensemble will transport you on an excursion through the game’s melodies and themes, all while HD gameplay video is displayed on screen. Expect to hear a 10-piece band headed by Charlie Rosen, the frontman of The 8-Bit Big Band, perform songs like Strike the Earth!, The Magic Mirror, and High Above the Land.
Charlie Rosen stated, “I am incredibly honored to realize this incredible chip-tune soundtrack live! It is some of the most inventive and vibrant composing I have ever heard in a video game, and translating it to live instruments will be an incredible thrill both to write and perform!! I can’t wait for fans of Shovel Knight (myself included) to hear these amazing melodies brought to life on stage!”
Jake Kaufman stated, “I’m so hyped to hear Shovel Knight’s music played live since the original chiptune tracks were written with real instruments in mind!”
