The amazing and talented Sidney Gish<\/strong> will have a concert on Dickinson’s campus, February 16th at 8pm in the Allison Community Room.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This semester, WDCV and MOB have partnered to bring a few wonderful concerts to Dickinson, so our blog will be providing articles spotlighting the artists so you can become familiar with them before they perform. First up is 21 year old singer-songwriter-producer Sidney Gish. Gish attends Northeastern University. Her latest album, <\/span>No Dogs Allowed<\/span><\/i>, was released on New Year\u2019s Eve 2017 but really started to get traction this year thanks to word of mouth on Twitter, great reviews (5\/5 from the Guardian, 7.7\/10 on Pitchfork), and high profile shows with Mitski, Petal, and Camp Cope. <\/span><\/p>\n

I first heard Ms. Gish\u2019s music because of the aforementioned Pitchfork review and was immediately hooked by \u201cSin Triangle\u201d. There rest of the album is just as great. Instead of merely accompanying herself on acoustic guitar as most young singer-songwriters are content to do, Gish uses samples, offbeat percussion, jazzy electric guitar playing, midi instruments, and a healthy dose of effects to add extra flavor to her songs. Her lyrics are relatable and cleverly filled with allusions and word play. \u201cSin Triangle\u201d alone references <\/span>Romeo and Juliet, <\/span><\/i>Japan\u2019s foreign policy, sine functions, and the Bible. \u201cPersephone\u201d plays with the common mispronunciation of the Greek goddess of vegetation \u201c<\/span>I\u2019ve called Persephone by the name of purse-a-phone\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a live performer, Gish utilizes a looping pedal which repeats sounds so that a single performer can command a more detailed sound. I saw her open for Mitski over the summer and she was wonderful. She even wore a cowboy hat in celebration of Mitski\u2019s classic <\/span>Be The Cowboy<\/span><\/i>. I am looking forward to seeing her live again and you should be too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her concert is Saturday, February 16th at 8pm in the Allison Community Room<\/strong>. WDCV and MOB are very excited for this performance and we hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
