Captivating Noir Folk artist Jazmine Mary is “rising into our collective consciousness as a star, as an artist to be reckoned with, as a creative force”.
They crack open the beauty and ugliness of the world with a voice that critics are calling “truly a wonder”. Recently they have opened for Kurt Vile, Billy Bragg, Gang Of Youths and toured the country in support of Reb Fountain.
They make music not to earn a living, but to survive, and it’s through their songwriting that Jazmine Mary feels tethered to something tangible, a constant. It’s the action of translating their experiences into poetic folk compositions that helps in “understanding parts of the beauty and ugliness of the world”, and which might help listeners do so too.
An award-winning gig for melancholy and exultation.
