Joanna Newsom

JOANNA NEWSOM IN CONCERT:Over the past decade indie folk icon Joanna Newsom has parlayed her idiosyncratic sound into Top 40 success, an impressive feat for a classically trained harpist whose unique compositions incorporate everything from Appalachian music to avant-garde modernism. Newsom’s songwriting is at once accessible and stunningly complex, taking familiar sounds and structures and turning them on their heads to reveal delightful new dimensions. She’s a master harpist and a skilled multi-instrumentalist, and her live shows are virtuosic recreations of her painstakingly crafted songs that treat ticket buyers to an up-close-and-personal look at her compositional process. As she plucks out elaborate passages on the harp with breathtaking dexterity, Newsom casts her acrobatic voice over fans, enveloping them in a brilliant and charming world of poetic lyrics and emotional melodies.

I had been waiting for YEARS for her to come anywhere near Florida on a day where I could make the trip, and I finally was able to for this Atlanta show. There are no words that can do justice to how beautiful and moving it was to see her and her band in person. Their musicianship and talent are on another level. It was easily the best concert I have ever been to and I will say it is a MUST to see her live if you are able to.

Brilliant from start to finish. It took a while to begin, but once it did, it was whirlwind of harp, piano, and of course, her signature voice. Anecdotes, in particular, took my breath away, and the encore, Baby Birch, had me in tears. Highly recommended.

This was easily the most incredible concert I've ever been to. This is by far my favorite performer, playing in my by far favorite ever venue. I never thought I'd be able to see anything outside of opera here, so I really cherished it.
