St. Vincent is award winning Texan musician Annie Clark. Renowned as a new generation songwriter, her music is an indie dreamscape of lush orchestration and tuneful, precise pop songs. Since the release of a debut album Marry Me two years ago, she's received great acclaim, and has since been touring with acts such as Grizzly Bear and Andrew Bird.
Before going solo St. Vincent was part of Texas psych-folk group The Polyphonic Spree, giving her "a rock 'n' roll education," as she called it. A stint playing with Sufjan Stevens followed. Music seems to be in her blood, she has been playing and writing music since she was 12, and was a teenage Tour Manager to her aunt and uncle, jazz duo Tuck & Patti.
Her voice is pure and her lyrics observant, often dark, and delivered with nuance and humour. Her recent album Actor presents a unique range of moods and sounds, arrangements journey from mellow and melodic into the intensity and energy of driving guitars. She begins each song as a secret film score - each track telling a story as vivid as the movie inside her head. With performances on David Letterman, a track on the recent Twilight album, and international tours she continues to make her place in the music scene and push the singer-songwriter-guitarist envelope.
In her 2010 Festival performance this award-winning songwriter, singer and multi instrumentalist will be accompanied by Daniel Hart playing violin and guitar. With St Vincent's magnetic stage presence, this promises to be an arresting and all-absorbing live performance.

Review
The New York Times Jan 31, 2010
St. Vincent was well into a captivating concert at the Allen Room on Friday when someone onstage put the evening in perspective. That someone was Annie Clark, who is to St. Vincent what Bruce Wayne is to Batman: one and the same, but with better manners and a shyer, more secretive air.
