Introducing Wendy McNeill, a master of poignant storytelling and captivating performances. With lyrics that delve into twisted perspectives and characters like a dead man's accordion or a misunderstood monster, McNeill's music is both playful and fierce. Armed with her beloved accordion, Ruby, she weaves intimate tales with a touch of the otherworldly, blending folk, noir, and heartfelt storytelling. Her latest album, "First There Were Feathers," explores the beauty and resilience of birds, drawing from science, literature, and personal experience. She sings about, and for, those on the frontline of these times- the literal 'canaries in the coal mines'. Joining her onstage for an unforgettable journey with bassist Mike Lent and violinist/trumpeter Daniel Lapp.
