Joanna NewsomJoanna Newsom (born 1982 in Nevada City, CA) is a San Francisco harper (she is a self-declared folk harper as compared to a classically trained harpist), singer and songwriter. Her songwriting incorporates elements of indie pop, Appalachian music, avant-garde modernism, and a sensibility that some listeners describe as quirky. Her child-like, idiosyncratic vocal style has been hailed by fans as intriguing and derided by critics as shrill; nevertheless her songs' artistic merit, especially her songwriting ability, has generally been acknowledged. She also previously played keyboards in San Francisco bands Golden Shoulders and The Pleased. After touring with Will Oldham she was quickly signed to Drag City and released her debut album The Milk-Eyed Mender and shortly thereafter toured with Devendra Banhart and Vetiver. Since then she has become wildly successful and even appeared live on The Jimmy Kimmel Show on ABC. Discography External links Newsom, Joanna Newsom, Joanna Newsom, Joanna
