Joanna Newsom @ Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, 20 Sep

Having tempered her pixy-toned tendencies for this year’s epically ambitious, masterfully executed third album, Have One on Me, Joanna Newsom has removed the one point of contention surrounding her poetic folk-tapestries, rendering herself almost irresistible to those with an appreciation for the subtler end of the contemporary music spectrum. With the songstress's appearance at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall in September being her first here in several years, it presents both the first opportunity for a Scottish audience to witness the vast and visceral material of her latest LP, and to savour a full body of work from unarguably one of the most unique voices around today.
