Wendy Eisenberg + Jasper Llewellyn

A London concert at Cafe OTO pairing American singer-songwriter and guitarist Wendy Eisenberg with Jasper Llewellyn, a founding member of the Rough Trade band caroline.

Wendy Eisenberg is an American singer-songwriter, improviser and guitarist who moves between art rock, jazz, free improvisation and folk. Born in 1991 in the United States, Eisenberg studied at Boston's New England Conservatory, and the debut album, Collected Early Works, came out in 2015. Later releases include Auto (2020) and Viewfinder (2024), a free-jazz record. The self-titled new album, issued on Joyful Noise, collects folk songs that the artist describes as shaped by the odd histories of the languages a guitar has spoken.

Jasper Llewellyn is one of the founding members of caroline, the Rough Trade band, and this bill marks their first shows under their own name. The single 'For the Teacher'is currently available to stream.

Cafe OTO is the London concert venue hosting the evening. The pairing suits listeners interested in independent songwriting and experimental guitar playing, with both artists sharing the same night.
