Kaelen Ghandhi / Ayako Kanda / James McKain (2 slots): Performing Artist in New York

About Kaelen Ghandhi / Ayako Kanda / James McKain (2 slots)

Kaelen Ghandhi, Ayako Kanda, and James McKain are individual performers rooted in Freddy’s Bar’s New York City open‑mic circuit. Their work turns up across Mimsey’s Open Mic, Humans Against Music, the Monday/Wednesday comedy mic, and the monthly storytelling series *So What Happened Was...*, moving between music, stand‑up, spoken word, and karaoke formats. They appear on community bills such as *Arts4Choice: Artists Advocating for All Through Art Birthday Special*, where the room’s regulars share a single program. Their performances favor direct delivery over spectacle, shaped by the discipline of recurring, mixed‑genre stages.
