    How much: $12.00

    Seattle: Nirvana, Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal. Those are the things that come to mind, but maybe I shouldn't have admitted the last two.

    While she shares the same label that Nirvana started their careers on, Jesy Fortino AKA Tiny Vipers is here to bump those Seattle associations out of the way with beautiful acoustic folk. She has recently released Life On Earth, her second album which owes to visionary artists like Josephine Foster and Nick Drake, aligning herself with contemporaries such as fellow Seattle chaps Fleet Foxes and Coco Rosie more so than the grunge and cut off shorts over tights (I’m looking at you Eddie Vedder circa ’93) of old Seattle.

    Her music is ethereal and heavy, meditative and lyrical. She is here for a run of dates around the country and a special appearance at Sound Summit festival of experimental music. The show at The Hopetoun is sure to be special evening; it's a perfect setting for her music and Sydney’s Rand and Holland, Guy Blackman and Seaworthy will be supporting.
