Following her very successful UK tour support of Ray Lamontagne, where the singer invited her on stage with him every night - which saw her praised in The Times and The Independent - Priscilla Ahn will return to the UK in April and May to play a series of UK dates including shows at London Bush Hall and Manchester Ruby Lounge.
Priscilla Ahn is a 24-year-old Amer-Asian singer-songwriter from LA, who grew up in Pensylvania and South Korea. After meeting Blue Note artist Amos Lee at recording session, she subsequently secured a job at the studio, where her talents as a songwriter were noticed by Lee's producer. This lead to her performing a showcase for Blue Note in New York, which lead to her being signed.
Priscilla's forthcoming album is titled 'A Good Day'. The songs are grounded in folk, country and pop and, though the lyrics are at first dreamy, her songs display a serious emotional depth and an almost preternatural maturity. You can see Priscilla perform live versions of Dreams and I Don't Think So, on YouTube – simply type in her name.

Press praise from Ray Lamontagne tour:
"'Gossip in the Grain'… becomes a haunting duet with the help of LaMontagne's support act, the singer-songwriter Priscilla Ahn."
Independent
"The singer Priscilla Ahn drifted on stage, unannounced, and the pair performed a crystalline version of 'I Still Care For You'…their voices brushing against the melody like a gentle wind sighing through the branches of trees."
The Times
