Joanna Newsom

Bringing that harp back to Australia for the first time in six years.

Overview

Since making folk cool again with her debut album, The Milk-Eyed Mender (2004), harp-playing, cocktail-devouring Joanna Newsom has continually surprised us. She's modelled for Giorgio Armani, given acting a spin — in Paul Thomas Anderon's Inherent Vice — and released four subsequent LPs. Her latest, Divers, released in 2015, grapples with travel, metaphysics, love and war. This is her first visit to Australia in six years.

Joanna Newsom plays the Sydney Opera House on January 21 at 8pm. $53-99 + bf.
