Po' Girl will appear at The Cutting Room on Feb. 17

Po' Girl was formed in 2000 by Trish Klein of the Be Good Tanyas and Allison Russell of Vancouver-based Celtic group Fear Of Drinking. Their self-entitled debut album drew on influences as diverse as Mississippi John Hurt, Rickie Lee Jones, and Tracy Chapman. "With enough sultry ambiance to be at home in either cocktail lounge or New Orleans street corner, Po' Girl features a simple, polished production of wistful, plaintively slurred vocals over a sparse yet warm jazz-folk accompaniment of guitar, stand-up bass, harmonica, banjo and clarinet. Americana can seem like a language from a forgotten era, but Po' Girl's sentiment never feels forced, the lyricism never cliche or false. They manage to maintain that traditional and nostalgic sound while the breathing fresh life into an old-fashioned genre" - Rolling Stone Online

JT and the Clouds have been influenced by a number of musical genres, so it's tempting to start using hyphens when describing their sound. What the Clouds have in common with Po' Girl, however, is that ability to take those disparate influences and imprint their own distinct personality on them, where eventually something new, or "newish" is created."Half boogie piano, half Memphis soul, plus another half of folky swing…The trick that JT & The Clouds pull off is putting soul into the white roots sound, and being as talented at both sides of the equation" - Americana UK
