For fans of Brigitte Fontaine or Calexico here is a chance to catch hold of a wonderful desert chanteuse all the way from Arizona (though via France.)
Tucson’s Marianne Dissard will be touring the UK this autumn. The Sept/Oct dates are solo, November is with Yan Péchin (Brigitte Fontaine, Alain Bashung guitarist) trio.

The subdued “Je Ne Le Savais Pas” from Dissard’s recent Album ‘The Cat. Not Me’ sways and blows like salty rigging…
The beats patter against the polished hull of the song while prismatic vocals waltz through the decking.
