Description:
Raised in Nevada City, California, Joanna Newsom began playing harp at the age of eight, studying Celtic, Senegalese, Venezuelan and Western Classical Harp techniques.

Joanna's music has more of an affinity with the folk revival of the 60s or the bluegrass movement at present than with most contemporary folk (or anti folk) scenes. She sings in an otherworldly, ragged-sweet voice that defies convention.

Her harp arrangements are at times ethereal and delicate, at others galloping and ornate, but never overwrought.

The embroidered design of 'The Milk-Eyed Mender' reiterates the vivid, homespun narratives of Joanna Newsom's songs.

She has toured with BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY, DEVENDRA BANHART and CAT POWER amongst others.
