EMILY JANE WHITE
Emily Jane White's singing voice, wispy and sweet but cut with an alluring world-weary weight, lends itself to introspection and rustic tales of woe. Part of the neo-folk movement that included Joanna Newsom and sometimes sonically compared to Cat Power or Jolie Holland, White possesses a singular voice inspired by the raveled threads of the uncanny in American culture, referencing depression-era blues and classic works of gothic literature, creating a haunting folk sound. Her indelible music has earned her a devoted European following and accolades in Rolling Stone, Spin, and NPR All Songs Considered.

"Whether performing pop tunes, French chanson or dream-ridden originals, they create arresting music marked by unaffected whimsy, surreal imagery and insinuating melodies. KQED
Come hear these two sirens in the enchanted redwood grove.
