Over the course of nearly 20 tireless years of writing, recording, and touring, Marissa Nadler has amassed one of the most singular catalogs in contemporary music. Her work glides between delicate folk, windswept Americana, doom metal-adjacent darkness, meditative ambient music, and fearlessly experimental sounds, all anchored in her unmistakable singing voice and finger-style guitar.

They are beyond thrilled to be sharing the stage with Marissa Nadler again.As Jesse often says, “Marissa Nadler is my favorite living singer songwriter.
