More Information
Pegi Young initially came to the public's attention through her longstanding role as backup singer with Neil Young, her husband of three decades. But her recent album, Foul Deeds, makes it clear that Pegi's iconoclastic creative voice is very much her own. The album, which Young co-produced, overflows with the same richly evocative songcraft that made her self-titled 2007 debut a revelation. That album exposed the late-blooming artist as both an affecting singer and a songwriter of rare eloquence and insight. The new disc finds Young continuing to make music of uncommon warmth and gravity, delivering her lyrics of heartbreak and hard-won wisdom in understated, quietly powerful musical settings whose hushed, haunted beauty underlines the material's emotional immediacy.
Opening for Pegi Young and the Survivors will be Bay area favorites Tim & Nicki Bluhm (The Mother Hips, The Gramblers) and Neal Casal, best known as the lead guitarist for Ryan Adams. |
