Elle King
From Brooklyn, New York
First Twin Cities show since since December 18, 2012
From last.fm:
Featured in the last issue of Love magazine and February's V Magazine as well as creating buzz amongst music bloggers everywhere, Indie darling Elle King is creating her own unique stamp on the anti-folk movement. Born in Ohio and raised in Brooklyn by her mother, she retains her roots in a style that blends those two worlds of both grit and mid-western charm. She often draws comparisons to Billie Holiday, Duffy, Regina Spektor and Adele. Miss King cites old blues, rock n' roll, and greats like Johnny Cash as her biggest influences.
