"An ethereal new presence on the L.A. scene"

Of part-Korean background, singer-songwriter Priscilla Ahn grew up mostly in rural Pennsylvania. When she graduated from high school, she packed her guitar and headed for Los Angeles. After a period of waitressing and writing jaded songs, she began to attract notice with her angelic voice and for the diverse array of instruments (including kazoo) she played in concert. Priscilla landed a backup-vocal slot with Amos Lee and then an opening-act tour with Joshua Radin. Signed to the venerable Blue Note label, she released her breakthrough album "A Good Day." The album is grounded in folk, country and pop, yet it’s never constrained by the dictates of any genre. For example, Priscilla ingeniously transforms Willie Nelson’s breakup ballad “Opportunity To Cry” into an upbeat shuffle, while still maintaining all its pathos. She's just back from a round-the-world tour where she's been making lots of new friends and new fans! Echo Park, L.A. singer-songwriter Robert Francis opens the show; his songs, says Performer magazine, have "the kind of cadence that glows with authenticity."
