She is a master of her craft, an unparalleled performer and soulful artist who continues to integrate and grow with her years; seeing her year after year is a joy that keeps on giving.
Both Tift Merritt and Amy Cook have new albums out, and joined up to tour the West Coast together. Last night, they played magnificent sets at the intimate club Cafe du Nord in San Francisco, CA.

Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra performed two shows last week at Public Works in San Francisco, CA, as part of their pre-release tour behind Palmer's second solo album Theatre is Evil, due out on September 11, 2012. Glide staff photographer Joan Bowlen captured the two different shows– one of which was a plugged-in “rock” show (Friday, 07/13) and then a stripped-down, raw acoustic performance “art” show (Thursday, 07/12), which was open only to Kickstarter backers. The rest of the gallery focuses on the art Palmer commissioned for the record, which is being taken on tour with them this summer.
The combination of Marling's haunting alto and searing lyrical vulnerability within the cathedral's awe-inspiring Gothic architecture created a space that was both communal and intensely personal.
