Heartbreaking and Dark Songs by Amanda Palmer




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>Singer, writer, pianist, and activist Amanda Palmer is also a listener, a “love-lover, rule-hater and co-founder of the Brechtian punk cabaret duo, The Dresden Dolls” (<a href="https://amandapalmer.bandcamp.com" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>). She has a way of connecting with people and directly asking for what she needs, as well as giving back to her fans. Her latest record,<em> There Will Be No Intermission</em>, is a “five hanky” record, full of dark songs on abortion, miscarriages, cancer and grief, all the while in a way that hints at hope and delivers community. Amanda Palmer brings an abbreviated version of her TED talk, with accompanying piano and ukulele songs, to perform in our studio.  <em>-Caryn Havlik</em></p> <p>Watch the session here: </p> <p> </p> <p>Listen to one of the singles from the record:</p> <p><a href="http://amandapalmer.bandcamp.com/track/drowning-in-the-sound">Drowning In The Sound by Amanda Palmer</a></p>
