British singer/songwriter Anna Calvi will bring her unique brand of ominous tango to the Independent this Sunday. Known for her beautiful yet tragic vocals and intensely masterful guitar playing, Calvi’s talent has attracted attention from fans worldwide as she embarks on a worldwide tour through Spring 2014.
Releasing her self-titled debut in 2011 on Domino Records, Calvi impressed the masses, including her mentor and album-background vocalist Brian Eno. After winning accolades from the European press and receiving award nominations, including the Mercury Music Prize, Calvi hit the ground running. She returns to the Bay this weekend celebrating the release of her second full length, One Breath. Drawing inspiration from composer John Adams, Steve Reich and hours choral music immersion, Calvi recorded her latest work in just six weeks. Focusing the running theme of “One Breath” relates to the act of opening oneself up and embracing the exhilaration and fear that can often produce ambiguous outcomes — Calvi’s fearlessness as a performer reverberates throughout.
Her live show is lauded for echoing cinematic overtones and offering an operatic-based motif, so commit to spending a hauntingly lovely Sunday evening with Anna Calvi. Register below for your chance to win tickets, courtesy of Showbams.
