Banjo maniac au clawhammer forcenée sévissant surtout en Bretagne et région parisienne, membre du ladies' band the Cuckoo Sisters et de plusieurs autres formations plus ou moins irrégulières de musiques traditionnelles américaines ("hillbilly", "old-time"...), ses sets solos en format onewomanband sont pour elle l'occasion de joindre à ce répertoire des reprises inattendues de classiques kraut-rock ou post-punk : elle se refuse à faire une différence entre les musiques de bar, surtout quand celles-ci sont rugueuses et DIY !
Dans le civil, c'est une historienne des musiques américaines, qui passe sur France Culture pour parler d'Alan Lomax et consorts.
All Seeing Eyes
— Garage-blues style Detroit
Born of a parade, the All Seeing Eyes are the pride of Dayton, Kentucky. The three-piece of multi-instrumentalists developed into the house band at Masonic Sounds Studios in that Kentucky river town.
Johnny Walker fronts the band, playing harmonica and guitar. He is the progenitor of the Soledad Brothers and Cut in the Hill Gang who has toured singing for MC5/DKT and done session work with the White Stripes, the Detroit Cobras, the Greenhornes, Low Cut Connie and James Leg. Matt Ayers (drums) and Kane Kitchen (bass) are the rhythm section rooted in Cincinnati R and B legends The Guitars.
The band was formed to play a party on a parade route for the largest annual celebration in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was quickly realized that the trio could fill the role as house musicians for Walker’s newly established recording studio across the Ohio river. The All Seeing Eyes began writing and recording their LP in earnest while working in and recording for artists in the Masonic Sounds Studios. They have played extensively in the Midwest of the United States, but touring has been limited by Walkers preferred profession, Psychiatry.
