Finding inspiration in nature, inanimate objects and things unseen Victoria Williams has been crafting her unusual brand of folk music in the wilds of Southern California for nigh on twenty years now. Her songs are gems glowing with California sunshine, settled with desert dust and steeped in the southern sensibilities of her home state of Louisiana, immersing you in vivid pictures of the rural south and have been covered by musicians from all over, from Lou Reed to Lucinda Williams. Since releasing Sings Some Ol' Songs in 2002, she has been lending her skills to a glorious gaggle of travelling musicians known as The Thriftstore Allstars and touring extensively with kindred spirit M Ward.
Most people don't see the wonder in dirt and filth, or the humour in the often cruel machinations of the world, but Vic Chesnutt does. He'll enlighten you in his own language of weathered experience. Hailing from Athens, Georgia, he's spent much of his career reflecting on the darker corners of life and shining a little light in there with that distinctive, wry creak of a voice, often aided on his amazing albums by a rotating cast of musicians including members of Lambchop, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Thee Silver Mt. Zion Orchestra. Since last years brilliant Dark Developments album collaboration with fellow Athenians Elf Power and The Amorphous Strums, he's taken to the road again touring his particular take on beauty and living.
