Grammy winner Aoife O’Donovan will perform Friday, April 15 at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts with supporting act Taylor Ashton.
O’Donovan has released three critically-acclaimed solo albums, including “In the Magic Hour,” which Rolling Stone magazine hailed for its “Impressionistic, atmospheric songs [that] relay their narratives against gorgeous pastoral backdrops.” Her third album, “Age of Apathy,” was released in January of this year.
The 8 p.m. show will feature O’Donovan and her band playing selections from this new album.
“If you are a fan of Gillian Welch or Anaïs Mitchell, you’ll want to check out the lovely Aoife O’Donovan,” Abbey Messmer, programming director at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, shared in a statement. “‘Age of Apathy’ is a beautiful album, and I can’t wait to experience it live.”
The Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts is located at 7380 E. 2nd St.
O’Donovan is one third of the group I’m With Her with bandmates Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz. The trio’s debut album, “See You Around,” earned the group a Grammy in 2020 for Best American Roots Song. O’Donovan spent the preceding decade as co-founder and frontwoman of the string band Crooked Still and was a featured vocalist on “The Goat Rodeo Sessions” with Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile.
Opening the show in Scottsdale is Vancouver native Taylor Ashton, who now lives in Brooklyn and recently released his first solo album, “The Romantic,” an ode to the devastating, ecstatic, gritty, sexy decade of his 20s, woven together through his five-string banjo with the help of 18 different musicians from the Brooklyn music scene and all across the U.S. and Canada.
All guests age 12 and older must provide a negative COVID-19 PCR test, taken within 72 hours of the performance date, along with photo ID, to attend performances. As an alternative, guests may provide proof of full vaccination.
