Loop-de-loop

As August drew to a close I went off to see Colin Stetson, who's won acclaim far and wide for his innovative saxophone playing. With him at Zaphod Beeblebrox was Emily Wells, of the then-stormbound New York City, who likes the loops.

Emily prepares to hit, toot, loop, strum, etc.



Dial-turning action!



Emily sings!



Plinking action!



Emily thumps!



Emily multitasks (she's also hitting the kick drum she's sitting on).



The other side of Emily!



Melodica action!



Guitar action!



Now that's what you call a one-woman show. She has a new album slated for release April 10.
