Please note this performance has been rescheduled to November 25th (from September 2nd). 

Coming out of retirement, one of experimental music's most flamboyant musical discoveries of the last 20 years, Baby Dee is an enchanting song writer, classically trained harpist, circus sideshow veteran, and transgender street legend.

Her infectious cackle and extraordinary talent on piano, harp and accordion has caught her many musical admirers including Will Oldham, Matt Sweeney, Maxim Moston, and Andrew WK, all of whom have produced unique and magnificent albums for her.

Support is from Jacken Elswyth, a London-based folk musician, banjo player, and instrument builder. In her music making she is focused on exploring traditional tunes, developing extrapolations on folk styles and techniques, and investigating drone, ambience, and improvisation within and beyond folk music. 

She organises the Betwixt & Between tape series as one avenue of these investigations. She plays and records solo and in collaboration - with Shovel Dance Collective, Sullow, and others. She also builds and repairs banjos and other instruments, with a focus on folk craft and vernacular styles. This practice and these instruments inform and facilitate her music making.
