Wendy Eisenberg at Kamera

Wendy Eisenberg, an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, performs at Kamera in Chorlton, with support from Hedgehog and Troutflies. The night draws on a catalogue that moves between pop, rock and indie styles.

Wendy Eisenberg is an American singer-songwriter who has worked in independent music for roughly a decade, combining songwriting, improvisation and guitar playing. Their debut album, Collected Early Works, appeared in 2015. Later releases include Auto (2020) and Viewfinder (2024), the latter a free-jazz record. Across these projects Eisenberg moves between art rock, jazz, free improvisation and folk.

In a 2021 interview with the guitarist Nick Millevoi for Premier Guitar, Eisenberg described needing to play in a punk band, improvise freely and write songs at the same time, since each practice depends on the others. Wendy also performs in Bill Orcutt's guitar quartet, plays alongside David Grubbs in Squanderers, and fronts the metal band Editrix.

The evening is supported by Hedgehog and Troutflies. Kamera hosts concerts and shows in Manchester, and the venue sits above the Lloyd & Platt pub in Chorlton.
