Hunting My Dress

Rising folkie moves from California to Manchester and blends British pastoral folk into her American blues and roots music. Elbow's Guy Garvey guests.

Even if she had nothing beyond her autobiography to bring to her songwriting, Jesca Hoop would have plenty of tales to tell, being the child of folksinging Mormons, then going on to roam around the country as part of a pack of traveling Deadheads before winding up as the nanny for Tom Waits' family.

Quirky folk with enough angles to appeal to those who don’t usually head to San Francisco with flowers in their hair, Jesca Hoop exudes endless grace.

Jesca Hoop would make one hell of an interview.
