Event
My Brightest Diamond
My Brightest Diamond is spearheaded by Shara Worden, granddaughter of an Epiphone-playing traveling evangelist, fathered by a National Accordion Champion, and mothered by a classical organist. Picking up an opera degree at the University of North Texas, Shara immersed herself in the songs of Purcell and Debussy. After college, she moved to New York City to simultaneously continue her opera studies and pursue her songwriting ambitions. Shara assembled a coterie of musicians to accompany her with bass and drums, strings, wine glasses, and wind chimes, and thus the sound of My Brightest Diamond was formed. This year Diamond released their sophomore album, A Thousand Shark's Teeth. The work slowly evolved and refined itself over a period of six years. Influenced by artists such as Tricky, French composer Maurice Ravel and Tom Waits, in addition to the star exploration themes of Anslem Kiefer's paintings, the imaginary landscapes of photographer Robert ParkeHarrison, films by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and Alice in Wonderland, A Thousand Shark's Teeth is a musical snowglobe that sparkles each time you touch it. For this performance, the group will be joined by a string quartet. Opening for My Brightest Diamond is Clare & the Reasons, whose swirling orchestral pop has been described as "old fashion cinematic love songs for a modern world."
