Abigail Washburn & Kai Welch (USA)
Steeped in Chinese culture, an expert at clawhammer banjo, respectful of old-time Americana, but driven to make modern music – Abigail Washburn is a fascinating conundrum. The Nashville-based singer/songwriter marries folk with far-flung sounds and indie rock, creating songs that feel both strangely familiar and unlike anything you’ve ever heard.
