First Fridays is pleased to announce its fourth concert of the season as singer-songwriter Diane Cluck brings her intuitive folk music to the Music Mansion. Based in Charlottesville, Virginia, Diane Cluck tours the US, UK and Europe, employing singing as a healing, textural experience in which audiences may wander, ponder, or simply be. Her vocal style has been noted for its clipped, glottal beauty, described as “an unlikely mix of Aaron Neville, the Baka people, and Joni Mitchell…unaffected yet unusual” (NPR). She accompanies herself on various instruments including guitar, piano, harmonium, zither, and a copper pipe instrument she built by hand. She released her seventh album Boneset through Important Records, featuring cellist Isabel Castellvi and drummer Anders Griffen. The album and singles received the distinction of premiering through NPR’s First Listen, All Songs Considered and Tiny Desk Concert series.

This and future concerts take place on the first Friday of each month and are free and open to the public, with refreshments provided by Campus Fine Wines and Revival Brewing.
