Multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter Annie Clark has been wowing music festival audiences with her gorgeous songs since stepping onto the global stage in 2007. Performing as St. Vincent, Clark struck out solo after touring and recording with both Sufjan Stevens and The Polyphonic Spree.
St. Vincent’s swirling indie-pop is a distinctly elegant fusion of the classical and experimental, the quirky and sophisticated. A tapestry of evocative lounge numbers and menacing rock, lush synthesizers and acoustic guitars, driving drum beats and gently flourishing piano, she weaves a remarkable musical spell, bound together by her sultry soprano.
An original, ascendant talent, St. Vincent won the title of 'Female Artist of the Year' at the PLUG Awards 2007. She has recently supported Arcade Fire and The National.
Please note: There is no support act for this show and St. Vincent will be on stage at 5.30pm sharp on January 16-17 and 7pm sharp on January 18.
Ages 18 and above
