Sufjan Stevens

Like a one-man Simon & Garfunkel for the twenty-first century, Detroit-born alt folk luminary Stevens is a real one-off. He’s dabbled over the years in chamber-folk, electronica and Christmas carols, but his latest album ‘Carrie & Lowell’ is a heartbreaking and breathily intimate tribute to his late mother that’s up there with anything he’s recorded to date. Hear selections from that alongside older fan favourites at this pair of Southbank shows.
