A few stories above where a band of KISS buskers argued over the best corner for photo ops, British folk/punk singer Frank Turner and his Sleeping Souls pianist Matt Nasir churned out this stunning, sparse version of “Wherefore art thou Gene Simmons?” The song originally appears as a bonus track on the group’s latest release, Tape Deck Heart. According to Turner, who is barred from playing guitar on his current tour due to a back injury, Nasir suggested the piano version of the song to help fill the gap in the setlist and it was a fantastic suggestion.
Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls’ Tape Deck Heart tour is still underway, and you can see the rest of the dates here.
