Honey throated songstress and (John) Peel darling Nina Nastasia comes to Newcastle for an intimate concert in Cluny 2.
She'll be touring Outlaster, her first record since 2007's You Follow Me, the collobaration with Jim White of Dirty Three.
Hollywood-born but now resident in New York City, Nina has carved out a career as a singer-songwriter there since the early '90s, making grand-sounding chamber folk bouyed with sumptous string orchestrations that lie somewhere between Bill Callahan, Will Oldham and Vashti Bunyan.
To date her six albums - 'Dogs' (2000), 'The Blackened Air' (2001), ‘The Blackened Air’ (2002), ‘Run To Ruin’ (2003), ‘On Leaving’ (2006) and ‘You Follow Me’ (2007) – have garnered widespread critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. Dogs was a favourite of the late John Peel, and legendary producer Steve Albini had this to say about the record:
"In the process of making a record, you hear it so many times that the charms of even the best of them can wear off through over-exposure. On rare occasions, records I've worked on have withstood this scrutiny and ended up being personal favorites. Nina Nastasia's 'Dogs' is a record so simultaneously unassuming and grandiose that I can't really describe it, except in terms that would make it (and me) sound silly. Of the couple thousand records I've been involved with, this is one of my favourites, and one that I'm proud to be associated with."
