I've recently been revisiting the #music of #ConnieConverse

Thought brought on by the biography of Connie Converse I’m now reading, which is well written, exhaustively researched, and broad in scope (making digressions into discussion of music history and fleshing out cultural context). But there’s just too much of it—especially about a subject about whom little is truly known. #ConnieConverse

Connie Converse spielt in den 50ern Gitarre und schreibt berührende Songs, zehn Jahre vor Bob Dylan. Dann verschwindet sie spurlos. Damals hält man ihre Musik für nicht vermarktbar, heute inspirieren ihre wieder aufgetauchten Songs andere Künstler*innen. Wir stellen die musikalische Pionierin im Popfilter vor.

A biography of Connie Converse is being published next month! This will probably be the most complete look we'll ever get at the obscure folk singer who disappeared in 1974.
