Theresa Andersson Plays At Barking Legs Theatre Sept. 16

Thursday, August 16, 2012

Theresa Andersson will be stopping in Chattanooga at Barking Legs Theatre on her upcoming fall tour. Her critically-acclaimed sophomore album, Street Parade, was released on Basin Street Records earlier this year to praise from The New York Times, USA Today, SPIN, and more. 

Review for Theresa Andersson:

The Swedish-born songstress has been living in New Orleans for nearly 20 years, and Street Parade is a lush, joyful and sometimes melancholy ode to the city. A regular performer at Jazz Fest, Theresa not only performed on a main stage at this year's festival, but also debuted music from Street Parade live in NOLA's Mardi Gras parade, riding atop a giant bird float.  

She is best known for her live show, where she crafts layers of drums, strings, and her soulful voice using looping pedals, a la Andrew Bird.

Roy Exum: Hypocrisy And Horses

I am still wincing over the fact a horrendous bill passed in the state legislature that would make whistle-blowers into criminals would have actually gone into law had it not been for Governor Bill Haslam’s eleventh-hour veto. Called the “Ag-Gag bill,” similar efforts in other states have also soured because it is no more than a Catch-22 trick to protect those who abuse animals, ... (click for more)
