Actor Keifer Sutherland will play his own country music at Prague’s Lucerna Music Bar

Kiefer Sutherland released his second album Reckless & Me this April, following his 2016 debut Down In A Hole.

Music critic Mark Beaumont in the UK newspaper The Guardian gave one of his concerts in London four out of five stars, saying, “He puts other Hollywood hobby acts to shame.” He added that Sutherland’s “whiskey-sodden country music set is genuinely poignant.”

Referring to the younger Sutherland’s debut album the Associated Press said he had “unexpected, unvarnished authenticity as a singer/songwriter.” Music magazine Rolling Stone praised his passion.

Storytelling is what has drawn him to music. “I asked myself, ‘What is the thing that I love about acting and music? What is the common denominator?’ For me it’s storytelling and music is a very different way of doing it,” he said, according to Broadway World, which praised his songwriting and “whiskey-soaked and gravel-laced voice.”

“As an actor, I know that the ability to connect with the audience lies in the power of the story or character. But this is something else. These are personal stories of my life. Even though I am lucky in my life, there are things you cannot avoid — your friends are dying, something will disappoint you a lot, someone will break your heart. I hope my songs will help me and the audience realize that none of us is involved in this alone. There’s some relief. At least for me,” he said on his website.

Reckless & Me came together during Sutherland’s concert tour in support of his first album. He wrote all 10 songs, with the occasional contribution of longtime friend and producer Jude Cole.

Sutherland’s acting credits include Stand By Me, The Lost Boys, Young Guns, Flatliners, A Few Good Men, A Time to Kill, Dark City, Forsaken, Melancholia, and the TV series 24.
