A harpist walks into a bar…and Nikki Lemire turns it into an ethereal modern folk experience. Singing and playing with her full band in a fusion of jazz, funk, and folk, she returns to Homegrown for her second performance. Born in Duluth and now based in a Minneapolis suburb, Lemire draws inspiration from Joni Mitchell, Olivia Dean, and Billie Eilish, using hypnotic loops and unusual vocal phrasing to create vivid soundscapes. Expect entrancing harp, lush harmonies, and heart-centered energy, featuring trio members Nyssa Krauss on upright bass and Haley E Rydell on fiddle and guitar.
