You’ve seen and heard Kelsey Wilson at the front of her folk group Wild Child and as a major voice in the Adrian Quesada-coordinated supergroup Glorietta, but over the course of 2019 she’s begun to shift her focus towards becoming a new authority in soul singing with her project Sir Woman. Wilson’s inherently kind character is still there, albeit obscured through an air of intense passion and insane control over vocal dynamics, placing this Studio 1A veteran amongst jazz royalty like Etta James, Aretha Franklin, and Amy Winehouse.
As Wilson has revealed more and more about Sir Woman, she continues to melt hearts and fill venues with her robust singing, which you’ll be able to hear in the comfort of your home on her debut full-length Party City, out next year. Sir Woman plays at Palmer Events Center at the tail end of next month for the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar and just dropped an infectious electronic R&B-style single ahead of Party City, “Speak”!
