About Feist

Feist’s career has been marked by awards, tours and albums that are all a credit to her prolific creativity as a musician and artist. A “New York Times” review of her recent album “The Reminder” praised her as “the indie-rock chanteuse from Canada… with a voice like carved steam.” Other solo albums include “Let it Die” and “Open Season,” but Feist’s American fan base was built primarily through her work with the group Broken Social Scene on albums such as “Feel Good Lost” and “Bee Hives.” Her reputation for encouraging audience participation, fostering a casual atmosphere and delivering an impressive array of songs across the genres promises concert-goers an unforgettable experience.
