Ember Schrag's 2008 Concert History

Ember Schrag is a musician from western Nebraska, a singer and guitarist hailed as "distinctive and free of affect or artifice" (A.V. Club). Her lyrics lace profound declarations–visceral/sincere but enigmatic–into plots from tragic folktales, classic literature, nightmares and revelations from the collective consciousness. The actual events are omitted from retellings: she'd rather speak in bittersweet details. Super-8 stills and off-topic epiphanies.
