Theresa Andersson, Go!

Anyone else catch Theresa Andersson on the Craig Ferguson show last night?



Originally hailing from Sweden, multi-instrumentalist Andersson moved to New Orleans in 1990. While she cites New Orleans as having a big influence on her sound, it wasn't until she saw a one-man puppet show in Chicago that she was inspired to perform as a one-woman band. She builds layers of sound through the use of looping effects pedals, which capture snippets of sound and play them back in an infinite loop.

Her latest recording, Hummingbird, Go!, was released last fall on Basin Street Records. More information, along with tour dates and links to her Facebook page, can be found at her webpage. You can check out more videos here.
