Cass McCombs

A Californian singer-songwriter, McCombs is probably better known for his unusual lifestyle – constantly moving from place to place, taking part-time jobs, conducting interviews by post, spending long periods living anonymously – than for his music. It's lovely stuff, though, switching between lonesome, drifting basement folk and more expansive, shimmering arrangements, and has picked him up collaborations and support slots with great swathes of the North American indie pantheon. Tonight his travels bring him to a London stage.
