Angel Snow w/Viktor Krauss at Mad Donnas

Angel Snow’s winter opening in her new hometown comes wrapped in prestige and bowed with high anticipation. Why such great expectations for a relatively unknown singer-songwriter? The buzz comes primarily from word of her six months of songwriting and wood-shedding with Krauss, a bassist known for collaborating with the most estimable of artists. Recently on the road with Lyle Lovett, Krauss (who also has released two solo albums) has toured and recorded with Elvis Costello, Jerry Douglas, John Fogerty and Bill Frisell, among others. But as of late he’s devoted himself to recording a new album with Snow; what they’ve created is delicate and experimental, with moody arrangements that allow for unexpected revelations. The duo open a residency of four consecutive Sundays, each paired with a respected friend. Julie Lee opens the premiere night.
