Emily Lacy & Henry Wolfe

Emily liked Henry so much at our festival this summer, she had him sing in a shipwreck at Machine Project last month. Henry liked Emily so much at the shipwreck, he wanted to sing with her if we were seeking a murder ballads mash-up. Emily Lacy & Henry Wolfe will do a song together. Emily will also perform a song with friend Julia Holter.

Emily Lacy is a folk and electronic sound artist generating works in music, film, and other media. She has performed in exhibitions at PS1 MOMA, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Hammer Museum, and LACMA, in addition to various living rooms and DIY spaces all throughout America. She works very closely with Machine Project. She grew up in a forest. She believes  in making committed and active performance environments where sound and vision are joined into a wild trance of human exchange.  “Together, in our parade, we can make a way forward.”

Henry Wolfe is a songwriter and singer living in Los Angeles. His songs bring to mind the mid-70’s heyday of Paul Simon, Randy Newman, Paul McCartney and Harry Nilsson, emphasizing quality and taste over novelty and experimentation. Yet while his music sounds familiar, his voice is his uniquely his own and it is anything but ordinary. Whether performing solo on his hollow-body electric guitar, or accompanied by a backing band, Henry Wolfe swings and stomps, moans and whispers. His music is alternately jazzy and twangy, funky and soulful, channeling the best of the past for an audience of the present.
