Joanna Newsom
with Alela Diane & Ryan Francesconi
ISTHMUS PICK
Friday, Dec. 18, Orpheum Theater, 8 pm
One of the most feverishly followed artists in indie music, avant-garde folkie Joanna Newsom has spent the past five years relatively inactive. Sure, she did use that time to lend her instantly recognizable voice to films like The Muppets and Inherent Vice, as well as get married (to comic actor Andy Samberg), but as far as music goes, she’s stayed off the radar — until now. Her most recent album, Divers, was released in October, and between the baroque instrumentation and tentative vocals, it’s like she never left. With Alela Diane & Ryan Francesconi.
