WFF - Amelia Curran
Jul. 24th, 2009 01:15 pmContinuing what looks to be a series on the 2009 Winnipeg Folk Festival.
Amelia Curran (not the painter) is good singer/songwriter who needs a better website. However, you can get a listen of her stuff here. She was on stage with a guitarist whose name I don't seem to have. He was good (as a guitarist), she was better (as a singer/songwriter). Her music is a bit sad, but that sort of sadness and resignation that expresses depression without promoting it... so leave the wristslitty knives at home. Also, you wouldn't tell from the CDs, but it is clear that she also has a sense of humor.
I don't know if she'll make my "check every month to see if she's playing nearby" list, but I'm liking her CD more every time I listen to it.
Oh, and completely apart from her writing and performing skill (and out of character for me), I must say that she has incredible eyes. I could have photographed them for an hour... so I did. The small set is here, highlights follow:
