LA-based Syrian American singer-songwriter Azniv Korkejian, aka Bedouine, crafts the most soothing, Carole King–vibing fusion of 1960s folk and 1970s country you’ll hear this side of the Mississippi, the sort that makes you want to recline and unwind in dreamy, languid pleasure. Her love songs hit your ears like the whisper of a kiss, her resonant, eloquent, lower-toned vocals soothing and pristine both when she’s crooning, cooing, or breathily talk-singing like a dulcet Dylan. She played the debut THING festival earlier this year, and she is returning to the area to deliver a full-length set behind sophomore full-length Bird Songs of a Killjoy. by Leilani Polk
