California-born but now based in Manchester, UK, Jesca Hoop is what you’d call a musician’s musician.
Discovered by Tom Waits, and brought on tour by Peter Gabriel to sing in his band, it was a phone call from
Elbow’s Guy Garvey that saw her move to the UK. Hoop's 6 studio albums including her most recent album

acclaim from critics and fans alike, and it’s easy to see why: Jesca Hoop is one of our most captivating singers.
Her beautiful songs, rooted in the folk tradition are intricately detailed, acoustic-led pieces that teem with
ideas, expertly crafted lyrics and melodies that spring from a deeply curious imagination.
