Friday - Saturday | NAC Fourth Stage
Fall under the enchanted spell of Jill Barber’s lush retro-jazz-pop sound
From her modest beginnings as a shy acoustic folkie on the local coffeehouse stage, Barber’s recent career has been reaching starry heights. With the release of her fourth album Mischievous Moon, a stunning concoction that features Barber’s unmistakable contralto backed by sweeping strings and dramatic orchestration, Jill Barber’s evolution to confident chanteuse is complete.
With echoes of everything from Burt Bacharach to Blossom Dearie and Patsy Cline, Canadian singer-songwriter Jill Barber has what must be the most beautifully orchestrated pop record in years.
