An evening with Lady of the Red at Cafe No9

Event information

Lady of the Red’s name is inspired by her home, Winnipeg, Manitoba, which sits on the edge of the Red River Valley in Canada. Her vintage-tinged roots-rock is tinged with wild-west eclecticness. A skilled singer-songwriter, she channels the growling country-blues guitarwork of Bonnie Rait, the vocal range of Joni Mitchell, and piercing storytelling of Dolly Parton. Her lyrics show poetic prowess earned from her early artistic years competing in competitive poetry slams for scores from zero to ten.

As outlaws once rode through hot desert sands, her songwriting is fierce and unshaken. Lady of the Red evokes Femme Fatale (a.k.a. Lady in Red), to which the masculine equivalent ‘Homme Fatale’ is far less popular. She believes gender stereotypes should be dismantled and reclaimed.

“Bringing an old imaginative folk essence into the new age, Larysa initially channels Joni Mitchell while adapting more modern with the intrusion of the full band. They give her some Big Thief style swagger to match her classic appeal. We also hear an influence of Nick Drake in the guitar work.

... Larysa’s trembling vibrato gives this folk an intoxicating exotic elegance. That kind of detail adds a seductive aura to her presence, one full of mystery and curious emotion. It lifts her talent beyond the realm of academia and into the realm of the chosen. Singers like Larysa feel touched by a spiritual musical legacy.”
