A Stave Sessions Concert

Courtney Swain, heard with Bent Knee at a Stave Sessions show in 2018, makes her debut as a headliner. A multi-instrumentalist, composer, vocalist, songwriter, and sound artist, Swain is artistically fearless, conjuring soundscapes that surround audiences with murmuring, echoing electronics, providing a canvas for her vocals, live instruments, and witty, insightful songwriting.

“A gorgeous blend of overwhelming vocal talent, modern keyboard techniques, and contemporary sophistication. ”
New England Noise

“Versatile, ever-appealing voice ”
Wall Street Journal

“Delivers emphatic, enigmatic lyrics in a manner that can evoke Björk, Alanis Morissette, or Joanna Newsom while sounding like no one but herself. ”
The Boston Globe
