Music fans staying in Paris hotels have a chance to enjoy the distinctive sounds of American
singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom next month.
Known for her eccentric, unbridled creativity and ambitious album projects, the
California-born performer is due to perform at the city's Bouffes du Nord theatre
on January 14th and 15th.
Newsom's main instrument is the harp, although her third studio album Have One on
Me saw the artist incorporate more piano, harpsichord, electric guitar and
orchestral sounds into her songs than previous efforts.
Released earlier this year, Newsom's most recent album is a triple LP that was
praised for bringing a newfound accessibility to her work, despite its length.
In a review of a concert at London's Royal Festival Hall in May, the Guardian said
that for all her idiosyncrasies, the 28-year-old's music displays "a melodic
sensibility in the classic American tradition".
The newspaper also noted an improvement in Newsom's vocals, claiming that a "softer, more natural timbre" has replaced the unusual style found on her 2004
debut album The Milk-Eyed Mender.
Scottish folk musician Alasdair Roberts is due to support Newsom at her two Paris
concerts, for which tickets are priced at €32 (£27.20).
Roberts has released music on Drag City, the Chicago-based label that also puts out
Newsom's records.
