TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. — Grand Teton Music Festival welcomes GRAMMY® award-winning artist Aoife O’Donovan to Walk Festival Hall this Thursday evening.
Deemed “a vocalist of unerring instinct” by The New York Times, she has released three critically-acclaimed and boundary-blurring solo albums including her most recent record, 2022’s boldly orchestrated and literarily crafted Age Of Apathy. Recorded and written over the course of Winter and Spring 2021 with acclaimed producer Joe Henry (Bonnie Raitt, Rhiannon Giddens), Age Of Apathy is “stunning” (Rolling Stone) and “taps into the propulsion of prime Joni Mitchell” (Pitchfork).
A savvy and generous collaborator, Aoife is one third of the group I’m With Her with bandmates Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz. The trio earned an Americana Music Association Award in 2019 for Duo/Group of the Year, and a GRAMMY award in 2020 for Best American Roots Song.
O’Donovan spent the preceding decade as co-founder and front woman of the string band Crooked Still, and is the featured vocalist on The Goat Rodeo Sessions — the group with Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile.
She has appeared as a featured vocalist with over a dozen symphony orchestras, including the National Symphony Orchestra, written for Alison Krauss, performed with jazz trumpeter Dave Douglas, and spent a decade as a regular contributor to the radio variety shows “Live From Here” and “A Prairie Home Companion.”
O’Donovan’s ‘friends’ include; Isa Burke, electric guitar/fiddle/vocals, Ethan Jodziewicz, vocals/bass, and Robin MacMillan on drums.
The concert will take place at Walk Festival Hall, 3330 W. Cody Lane in Teton Village from 8 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $50 and can be purchased here.
