Amy Nelson (2019)
Calgary, AB
Old-timey singer-songwriter and banjo-strummer Amy Nelson recalls the days when folks gathered around the radio for entertainment. There’s much less static at a Nelson show though, all the better to fully appreciate the anachronistic performer whose backing players draw from a cache that includes a jug, kick drum, lap steel and slide guitar.
