Josienne Clarke Sings Sandy Denny: Across The Evening Sky

About

Josienne Clarke has been hailed as the songwriter-poet of melancholy, as well as a thrilling interpreter of traditional song. In the wake of her acclaimed new album, Parenthesis, I, she is now stepping up to honour Sandy Denny – a singer with whom she has been compared – with a show that brings Denny's music to a new generation.

Rather than a solo show, audiences can expect a folk-rock set-up of guitar, piano, bass and drums. "I want to be free to sing," says Clarke, who usually accompanies herself on guitar. "It'll be an ensemble to get all the textures and tones that you can get out of her music."
