Upcoming: Thao Nguyen
Thao Nguyen is singer-songwriter from outside of D.C. She grew up working in her mother's Laundromat and appropriately her first album is call Like the Linen. She also has one of the stand out tracks on the Kill Rock Stars compilation The Sound the Hare Heard. Thao has a relaxed singing style that contrasts nicely with her quick finger plucking on guitar, which is again cooled by the brush percussion. Take a listen.

Nice to see some love for Thao. I love "Moped." And her ginormous sunglasses.
