Allison Russell - From Montreal to Nashville

From New Horizons, 5:00 pm on 3 March 2024

Canadian singer Allison Russell was on Joni Mitchell's Newport and Hollywood Bowl stages, stood alongside Rhiannon Giddens and Leyla McCalla for Songs of Our Native Daughters and has released two splendid solo albums. William Dart follows her career.
