Jesca Hoop: American-born singer/songwriter

From Saturday Morning, 9:05 am on 20 June 2020

The American singer-songwriter and guitarist Jesca Hoop has had five solo albums, been mentored by Tom Waits (after working as his nanny), and collaborated with the likes of Eels, Placebo, Iron & Wine, Andrew Bird and Elbow.

She's also a former Mormon and outdoor survival guide. Based in the UK for more than a decade, we’ll ask about the challenges and the opportunities offered by collaboration, and consider some of her shape-shifting, socially aware work.
