Appalachian-meets-avant-garde indie folk musician Joanna Newsom, who had a musically rich childhood growing up in Nevada City, California, played piano before switching to the harp at age seven, later adopting an approach to the Celtic harp influenced by West African and Venezuelan harp music. Upon reaching high-school age she began writing and recording instrumental songs, but eventually gravitated toward singing and songwriting. Will Oldham and Cat Power invited her to play opening slots for their shows, and after Newsom released a pair of EPs, her full-length debut, The Milk-Eyed Mender, arrived on Drag City in 2004. The critically acclaimed Ys was released in 2006, and the triple-disc Have One on Me followed in 2010. Newsom also plays with the Pleased and noise rock trio Nervous Cop. ~ Heather Phares
