About this concert
No Depression described Daphne as “the voice of futuristic folk-rock/alternative-roots music... exploring the outer reaches of nostalgic melody... ” Her singular Americana mélange includes a broad array of contemporary and classic inspirations that spans folk, country, vocal jazz, indie rock, and cinematic pop. Her words are pulled from an expansive well of literature and lyrical influences, from laissez-faire poets, satirists, and the Beats, to Feminists, modern philosophers and friends.
Praise for Daphne's Albums
"(With) luxuriously furnished dark, undulating folk and blues elegance, (Daphne) explores matters of the heart with refreshing candor and wry humor, as a range of personal experiences and raw emotions." - Peter Lindblad, Elmore Magazine
"Her songs slink their way through the worlds of pop, R&B, and avant-garde, often with edifying results" - American Songwriter
"Equally retro and modern and thoroughly out of this world, (the) clever accompaniment lifts Daphne's loose vocal stylings and cheeky tin pan alley songwriting to theatrical settings. If the SyFy channel ever decides to bring back Firefly, Joss Whedon may have found his new house band in Daphne" - Innocent Words Magazine

The musicianship and emotion behind the lyrics were amazing and therapeutic to say the least. In addition, they invited the Dr. Sick Trio to play and definitely did not disappoint!

Daphne Parker Powell Biography
Forever blending genres in the legacy of the great Tin Pan Alley songwriters, Daphne takes beloved traditional southern roots sounds and runs them through megaphones, mellotron, a very old tube amp, a swamp and a dark alley or two. As always, the lyrics are fermented and distilled in a bathtub full of misfit Interbellum prose.
Daphne has been touring nationally for the last decade, and has just released her sixth studio album 'The Starter Wife'.
