PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT – AOIFE O’DONOVAN & HAWKTAIL

Anyone remember when Strawberry was first introduced to Aoife O’Donovan, as a member of Crooked Still? We were wowed by her artistry then and have been ever since.

Deemed “a vocalist of unerring instinct” by The New York Times, GRAMMY Award winning O’Donovan has released three critically-acclaimed and boundary-blurring solo albums including her most recent record, 2022’s boldly orchestrated and literarily crafted Age Of Apathy. Written by O’Donovan and recorded with acclaimed producer Joe Henry, Age Of Apathy is “stunning” (Rolling Stone) and “taps into the propulsion of prime Joni Mitchell” (Pitchfork). Age of Apathy received three nominations at the 2023 GRAMMY Awards including one for Best Folk Album.

She is a co-founder of I’m With Her (with bandmates Sarah Jarosz and Sara Watkins) and Crooked Still, is the featured vocalist on The Goat Rodeo Sessions with Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile, and spent a decade contributing to the radio variety shows “Live From Here” and “A Prairie Home Companion.”

We could wax lyrical about her laurels for longer, but instead, listen here for yourself!
