Mike Kota with May Payne - MATINEE SHOW

About

**Mike Kota** Mike Kota is a Minnesotan indie singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer. Holding a mirror to herself through music, her thoughtful lyrics and soulful melodies bring about introspection, alchemy, and empowerment. Taking influence from King Krule to Bon Iver to bossanova, Kota’s guitar is rooted in jazz voicings and indie-rock progressions, without conforming neatly to a genre. Her songs breathe an unfolding story in which her distinctive voice delivers a raw and powerful performance. **May Payne** May Payne is a confessional emo-folk singer-songwriter. Raised in rural Dorset on a diet of Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, she first built a cult following online as a teenager for her outspoken personality and all-consuming obsession with music. Now London-based, she crafts hyper-vulnerable songs inspired by the raw organic sound of Big Thief and the shameless emotionality of 00s Emo. She recently released her latest single, Pennsylvania.
