To live a life as a consistently successful, working musician takes creativity, bravery, and a lot of grit. Aimee Mann may have the voice of a sweet songbird, but she was never willing to have her wings clipped. Maybe that’s why she’s consistently creating, surfacing to the general public in moments of glory, like her shining presence on the “Magnolia” soundtrack in 1999 or her Grammy Award-winning folk album in 2018.
Storytelling through song is a quintessential feature of the folk genre, and maybe that’s why, when she released “Mental Illness,” her ninth studio album, in 2017, it was nominated for a Grammy for Best Folk Album. In 2018, she won. And still, she returns to her steady work. Writing, processing, practicing. When she comes to Canoe Place Inn in Hampton Bays this summer, she’ll be sharing her unique, unadulterated view of the world in the best way she knows how — through her original music that speaks for itself.
Aimee Mann will play at Canoe Place Inn in Hampton Bays on Thursday, June 12, at 8 p.m.
