Agnes Obel @ St. David's Sanctuary, SXSW, March 19, 2011


 

Another day, another church ... only for you SXSW.  Again, though, the performer was very well suited to the acoustics.  Agnes Obel, a Berlin-based Dane, was one of my SXSW discoveries and although she seems to be doing quite well in Europe, I haven't read anything about her in the North American blogosphere.  It's a shame because she's really something quite special.  Her album is wonderful and her set was stunning.  She sings and plays the piano and is accompanied by a cellist.  Far too brief, but a true highlight of SXSW.
