AMERICAN singer-songwriter Corinne West will take her Yew Tree tour to Otley Courthouse on Saturday.

California-based Corinne will perform songs from her latest album, Starlight Highway, as well as her latest single, Yew Tree.

She is described as a poet, tunesmith, visionary and an utterly stellar performer, whose music evokes the eternal stories of mystic troubadours while speaking with power and grace to a modern audience.

A well-established figure on the acoustic roots/folk scene, West has recorded five critically-acclaimed albums and toured extensively throughout North America and Europe.

A spokesman said: “Her distinctive style is marked by lush vocals, pristine guitar and bold lyricism that reflect grit, discerning optimism and a true love for the human experience. She is equal parts angel and outlaw, delicate and fierce.”
