I first saw her last year at SXSW (it's great how many people you can see there and fall in love with) at La Zona Rosa. She was opening for Liz Phair and just blew me away. A lot of people compare her to Fiona Apple because of her husky vocals and piano playing. She doesn't just play the piano, but she does play it a lot. Her debut album Happenstance was released in 2004. I remember hearing her first single "Worn Me Down" all over. I thought she was just going to explode into the bigtime but it just never happened.
Anyway she's going on tour this July supporting Ray Lamontagne so you ought to check her out if you like what you hear.

She's great. I fell in love with her EP before Happenstance. That album is brilliant.
yeah when I saw her at SXSW I went and bought her EP from her and liked it a lot. Real great songs. I hope she keeps on doin' what she does.
