You may have missed her when she performed at Joe's Pub earlier in Decemeber. And no, I'm not talking about Nancy Sinatra. KEREN ANN is this amazing chanteuse from Paris whose ancestry spans Israeli and Dutch borders. An avid Joni Mitchell fan, her spacey and gentle vocals are sweet and poignant, while her arrangements are classy in a 1950's jazzy musical sort of way.

Want more? Well, she was just reviewed by The New Yorker's Sasha Frere-Jones (my third-favorite music critic behind Fricke and Pareles), so I've listed that article below, as well as some multimedia tidbits.

More importantly, she'll be playing Southpaw on the 7th of January, and The Knitting Factory on the 9th. So bring your baguettes and unfiltered cigarettes, and prepare to be charmed by Keren Ann.
