Allysen Callery
Alternative folk artist in the New Folk Movement, also called Freak Folk & New Weird America. Partnered with Myles Baer (Black Hole Infinity) both her first self released studio album, Hopey (2007) & second Hobgoblin’s Hat 2010 went on to be named a Top Local CD by the Providence Phoenix, saying: Hopey: “Fragile picking and a haunting delivery reverberate with the ghosts of British folk like the hybrid, conjoined spirit of Sandy Denny and Nick Drake”(Bob Gulla) Hobgoblin’s Hat:”Callery’s finger-picking acoustic skills are trumped only by her gorgeous voice, and her poetic sophomore release is equal parts entrancing and beautiful. The first three songs (“Tiny Armageddon,” “Jack Jumps Back” and the title track) lure the listener in, surefire lullabies to paralyze.” (Chris Conti) Both albums have received international critical acclaim by some of the foremost authorities in alternative folk music, including Terrascope (UK) & Psyche Van Het Folk (Belgium).
