This project is an exploration of the feminine voice, re-humming, singing, and sounding American folksongs, most of which I only remember through my father or grandfather’s voices. When recording, I sang these songs entirely from memory, without looking at text or charts. I sang them over and over again, until they had a memory of their own.

Made possible by the Jack Straw Cultural Center’s Artist Support Program.
