Anna Calvi

Hailed as "the best thing since Patti Smith" by Brian Eno, as well as being included on the BBC's Sound of 2011 list as well as a Brit nomination for Best Breakthrough Artist of the year, HK audiences have the one off chance to see this enigmatic songstress in Grappas Cellar's most intimate of surrounds.

Drawing comparisons with the passionate and brooding musicianship of the likes of Nick Cave and Polly Jean Harvey, the dense and rich musical influences that inhabit Calvi's world are broad and distinctive strokes of sultry flamenco, smoke-filled blues, and seductive goth pop/rock.

Adding to this tapestry of influences, Calvi has cited inspiration from the films of David Lynch, Gus Van Sant, and Wong Kar Wai; the cinematic element to her music contributes a mysterious and unyielding undercurrent to her work.

Support comes from the always entertaining Dada Baba.
