KATH BLOOM & LEVI STROM TO PLAY HENRY MILLER LIBRARY

Connecticut based singer-songwriter Kath Bloom will stop by Big Sur’s Henry Miller Library on Monday Jan. 31th as part of her west coast tour with Levi Strom.

Local talent Melissa Underwood will be joining the two.
Show starts at 8pm. (door 7.30)  $15 Adv. $20 door All ages.

Kath is some kind of legend.  She comes from a special place where
country, blues and folk are made beautifully translucent and emotive.
She has a special gift - her almost supernaturally beautiful, wavering
soprano is one that has to be heard, with a clear transparent
moonlight quality that silences a room.  Her songs will burn a hole
straight to your soul.

Her music has been featured in Richard Linklater’s film Before Sunrise
and was honored on a tribute album featuring Devendra Banhart, Bill
Callahan, and Mark Kozelek.  In 2010, her album Thin Thin Line was
released on Mark Kozelek’s label Caldo Verde Records.  Since it’s
release, Kath has toured all over the US and Europe including a
performance at the End of the Road Festival in England.

“Bloom sounds like a woman who has spent years in the wilderness... An
earthy, unpretentious presence, she can snap a heart like a twig”
Pitchfork

“One of the most beautiful singers ever. Heartbreaking.” Devendra Banhart

“Devastating songwriting.” NPR


Levi began writing songs at the age of 15.  He and his best friend would start a band called Killin’ Dillin that would play at the high school talent show.  Their mothers would video record the whole thing.  Now, at the age of 29, Levi is still writing songs and performing with friends and his mother is still recording the whole thing.  Most recently Levi has performed with the likes of folk legend Kath Bloom and the ever whimsical and radical Kyle Fields of Little Wings. Currently Levi is living in Big Sur California where he is working on his forthcoming record, plotting west coast tours and catching some sweet insiders. 

"Levi Strom sings his personal and heartfelt original songs out loud! Like a proud and ancient redwood sways in the ever changing wind. Most days you can find him...out there, on the road, doing what he does, singing songs for the land, the wind and, of course, the people".
-Britt Govea (((folkYEAH!)))

Levi has a wonderful joy in his performance. He is easygoing and giving. His songs are heartfelt, melodic, and you will never forget them.
-Kath Bloom, Songwriter
