Hi Fredheads,
I excited to announce that supporting Gregory Alan Isakov at Grateful Fred’s on the 31st of October will be New England, USA singer-songwriter Chris Pureka.
“A New England folkie with a parched, wounded voice and a mean way with an acoustic guitar, Pureka makes romantic depression seem, somehow, invigorating.”- LA Daily News
“An interviewer asked Chris Pureka to sum up her music as a haiku. I will: Folky sorrowful songs of loneliness and hurt, longing to reunite. Her tunes have the grave Appalachian flavor of Neil Young and Gillian Welch; her guitar playing is subdued but quietly virtuosic. And her voice can be a desolate whisper or a bitter accusation. There’s no comfort, for her, in the clarity of her observations.” – John Pareles, THE NEW YORK TIMES
Gregory’s tickets are already half sold all this time ahead so please buy your tickets as soon as possible if you want to be there on what’s promising to be a great night.
Here’s a taste of Chris Pureka to wet your appetite:
