The Ark: Sweet Talk Radio and Carrie Elkin
Double bill. Sweet Talk Radio is the L.A.-based husband-and- wife pop-folk duo of vocalist Kathrin Shorr and guitarist Tim Burlingame. Their recent CD My Hallelujah has provoked comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel for both its evocative songwriting and gorgeous, stirring vocal harmonies. Elkin is a fast-rising young country-folk Austin-based singer- songwriter who has been compared to the likes of Nanci Griffith and Iris Dement. Maverick (UK) magazine praises her latest CD The Jeopardy of Circumstance for its “warm, earthy poetry that combines a strong folk/soul framework, sweet- toned but characterful vocals, and quietly offbeat writing that never seems willfully eccentric."
