Josienne Clarke is a British singer-songwriter.
Music career
From 2009 until 2018 she formed a duo with guitarist Ben Walker, winning a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for best duo in 2017, and signing with music label Rough Trade Records,[1][2] with whom she made two duo albums, one record with her band PicaPica and her solo record ‘In All Weather’ in 2019. She also recorded an EP ‘Such A Sky’ with jazz pianist Kit Downes in 2017. She has toured world-wide and has supported folk musician Richard Thompson on one of his tours.[1]
In 2019 she formed a band called PicaPica. The band recorded a studio album called Together & Apart.[1] The Financial Times wrote in 2019 she was "recognised as a rising star of British folk".[1] She subsequently signed with the label Corduroy Punk Records to bring out more solo albums.
Of her 2023 solo album Onliness (which is a re-recording of some previous work), Folkradio wrote: "a graceful melancholy in the melodies and a bird-like fragility to her singing coating an underlayer of grit and menace you would be foolish to ignore".[3]
