She played a solo set at the Paramount Theatre in support of her sophomore album, Eastwick / Cold Caller. A few more shows in the US, then it’s off to Europe for shows that have already sold out.

Danish singer-songwriter Agnes Obel played at a rare seated show at the Showbox at the Market. Her North American tour made a stop in support her recent album, Late Night Tales. The backing trio played cello, mellotron, percussion and keys, and all three also sang. Local Olympia-based Micaiah Sawyer opened for the very receptive audience.
