Folk, folker, folkest. Whether you’re into Carole King or Joanna Newsom, Harry Nilsson or Bonnie “Prince” Billy, I can guarantee you’ll love this dreamweaving songstress from Nevada City. Definitely one of the best voices in folk today. She’s like early Joni Mitchell meets Beth Orton, but better! – Sweeney, SF
This Nevada City girl is shooting in widescreen technicolor on her new opus, a staggeringly accomplished and hauntingly lovely country-folk meditation on self and home. Otherwordly pedal steel, earthy percussion and shimmering ambience surround these dreamy tales, with outsider folk legend Michael Hurley stepping in for a duet. She might just be the next big thing, or at least the next thing to break your heart.
