Freak folk’s favorite (only?) harpist Joanna Newsom is coming to the Jefferson Theater on March 24.
Anyone else think the 700-capacity venue is a bit of a stretch for her? It seems like there’s one item list of popular grievances against her: that voice! But if her new song "81" is any indication, seems like she’s toned things down a bit. Drag City is streaming the first track from her album on its website, where you can also see the art for her new album, Have One on Me, a triple LP due February 23.
Tickets for the show go on sale Friday at 10am. Think they’ll really sell 700?
