Acclaimed by fans & critics alike, prolific singer/songwriter Ellen Kempner, aka Palehound, is known for sharing intimate meditations on love, gender, body image and self acceptance. Her most recent album, Black Friday, is a finespun exploration of all the forms that love can take: love between friends, love for people no longer in your life, love in the face of self-hate, love that endures through major life changes or through many tiny catastrophes.
On stage, the band takes audiences on a cathartic journey of exhilaration, empowerment and community, whether headlining or opening for such idols as Courtney Barnett, The Breeders, Mitski, Big Thief, Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som and others.
