"Anjana
Vasan brings a new sort of music to the table with her debut EP, Too Dark
for Country. A warm sound that is fuelled by the genres that have weighed
heavy in Vasan’s musical past, the EP takes elements of folk, blues and country
music to create something that can’t be neatly filed under any of those titles.
Instead, the songs are defined by their depth of character – the wealth of
sadness, parried by moments of sheer joy. Too Dark for Country
talks of race, of the tragic lives of blues legends, of love songs that are
doomed to repeat themselves, and of that most magical of all things: key lime
pie.
Support on the night will come from Robin Elliott, one of the folk
scene’s most inspired songwriters."
